Definition:- The process of converting the raw material into finished products by using certain processes and/or machines.
Classification
Definition:-Small components are manufactured individually and then joined together to form the product.Such processes are called metal joining processes.
Welding
Definition:- The process of joining two metallic parts together by heating them to a plastic or semi molten state, with or without the application of a pressure and with or without a filler material.
Classification
Pressure Welding( Plastic welding) Parts to be joined are forced together by an external pressure Does not require filler material Non-pressure welding( Fusion welding) Metals parts to be joined are joined by heating without external pressure. Generally require filler material.
Pressure Welding
Forge Welding Resistance Welding Pressure Thermit Welding
Classification
Spot welding Seam welding Projection welding
Seam welding
Electrodes used are roller electrodes. Series of overlapping spots are obtained. Spot weld is made every time current reaches its peak during A.C. cycle (1/50th sec) resulting into continuous seam of overlapping weld spots. Suitable for thin metal sheets only.
