WELDING
TYPES OF WELDING
WELDING
Welding means permanently joining two pieces
of material by heating the joint between them.
The heat melts the edges of the components
being welded together, and once the material
has become molten (liquid), fusion occurs.
When the joint fuses, material from each
component is mixed together, joining to form a
solid weld.
Welding is usually used to join
components of the same base metal
that is the metal the components are
made of. It is possible though more
difficult to weld certain dissimilar
materials. For example, copper can be
welded to steel.
WELDING problem
problem in welding is discontinuity, where joints are not
completely solid.
Another problem is residual stress. for example, tension-
which is 'trapped' around the joint.
This problem occurs after welding, as a result of contraction
in the weld zone (or fusion zone) the area that was the weld
pool. It can also occur in the heat-affected zone (HAZ) the
material close to the weld pool which was subjected to high
temperature, and was modified by the heat.

C. ADHESIVES
resistance welding
Involves passing an electric
current through
metal components that are
touching. This heats
the metal and welds it. The
technique can be
used for spot welding
ultrasonic welding
Uses high-frequency acoustic
vibrations to make the
touching surfaces of two
components vibrate.
The technique is
often used to weld plastics
BRAZING
In Brazing, brass (an alloy of
copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn)) is
melted using an oxyfuel torch,
and added as filler to form the
joint. Unlike welding, the base
metal of the components is
not melted, so the components
are not fused. Brazed joints
are therefore not as strong as
welded joints.
SOLDERING
For electrical connections,
soldering is often used. Solder
is a metal filler which melts at
quite a low temperature. Like
brazing, soldering forms joints
without melting the base
metal. Soldered joints are
therefore weaker than welds,
and also generally weaker
than brazed joints.
