welding design
1Welding — is a fabrication process that joins materials, usually metals or thermoplastics, by causing coalescence. This is often done by melting the workpieces and adding a filler material to form a pool of molten material (the weld puddle ) that cools to… …
2Welding joints — are formed by welding two or more workpieces, made of metals or plastics, according to a particular geometry. The most common types are butt and lap joints; there are various lesser used welding joints including flange and corner joints. Contents …
3Welding defect — A welding defect is any flaw that compromises the usefulness of the finished weldment. According to the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) welding defect causes are broken down into the following percentages: 41% poor process… …
4Ultrasonic welding — is an industrial whereby high frequency ultrasonic acoustic vibrations are locally applied to workpieces being held together under pressure to create a solid state weld. It is commonly used for plastics, and especially for joining dissimilar… …
5Friction stir welding — (FSW) is a solid state joining process (meaning the metal is not melted during the process) and is used for applications where the original metal characteristics must remain unchanged as far as possible. This process is primarily used on aluminum …
6Oxy-fuel welding and cutting — Oxyacetylene redirects here. For the song, see Cubanate. Side of metal, cut by oxygen propane cutting torch …
7Gas metal arc welding — RMD redirects here. RMD may also refer to IRA Required Minimum Distributions. Gas metal arc welding …
8Plastic welding — is the process of welding plastic parts together. There are several techniques:Hot gas weldingThis is a plastic welding technique which is analogous to gas welding of metals, though the specific techniques are different. A specially designed heat …
9Plasma arc welding — (PAW) is an arc welding process similar to gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW). The electric arc is formed between an electrode (which is usually but not always made of sintered tungsten) and the workpiece. The key difference from GTAW is that in PAW …
10Arc welding — uses a welding power supply to create an electric arc between an electrode and the base material to melt the metals at the welding point. They can use either direct (DC) or alternating (AC) current, and consumable or non consumable electrodes.… …
