In this article we will discuss about the welding of metals:- 1. What is Welding? 2. Principles of Solid Phase Welding 3. Principles of Fusion (Liquid State) Welding 4. Weld Defects and Inspection. What is Welding?: Unlike the manufacturing processes employed to produce a single component, the joining processes are used to assemble different members to yield the desired complex configuration. [...]
This article throws light upon the nine types of metal joining processes. The types are:- 1. Solid Phase Welding at Elevated Temperature 2. Arc Welding 3. Resistance Welding 4. Gas Welding 5. Thermite Welding 6. Ultrasonic Welding 7. Electron Beam Welding 8. Laser Beam Welding 9. Explosive Welding. Types and Classification of Metal Joining Processes # 1. Solid Phase Welding [...]
In this article we will discuss about the principles of joining processes. The principles are:- 1. Soldering and Brazing and 2. Adhesive Bonding. The processes, namely, brazing, soldering, and adhesive bonding are grouped under solid / liquid state welding. The physical phenomena associated with each of these processes are essentially the same, and differ mainly in the metallurgical aspects. In [...]
