welding joint
11Electric resistance welding — (ERW) refers to a group of welding processes such as spot and seam welding that produce coalescence of faying surfaces where heat to form the weld is generated by the electical reistance of material vs the time and the force used to hold the… …
12Shielded metal arc welding — (SMAW), also known as manual metal arc (MMA) welding, flux shielded arc welding …
13Ultrasonic 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… …
14Gas metal arc welding — RMD redirects here. RMD may also refer to IRA Required Minimum Distributions. Gas metal arc welding …
15Friction 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 …
16Friction welding — (FW) is a class of solid state welding processes that generates heat through mechanical friction between a moving workpiece and a stationary component, with the addition of a lateral force called upset to plastically displace and fuse the… …
17Cold welding — An Alaska gold nugget weighing 63.8 grams. Gold nuggets are often formed through the cold welding of smaller particles which impact as they are carried along water currents Cold or contact welding is a solid state welding process in which joining …
18Percussion welding — (PEW) is a type of resistance welding that blends dissimilar metals together. Percussion welding creates a high temperature arc that is formed from a short quick electrical discharge. Immediately following the electrical discharge, pressure is… …
19Seam welding — Resistance Seam Welding is a resistance welding process that produces a weld at the faying surfaces of overlapped parts along a length of a joint. The weld may be made by overlapping weld nuggets, a continuous weld nugget or by forging the joint… …
20Butt joint — For the geometry in welding, see Butt joint (welding). A butt joint is a joinery technique in which two members are joined by simply butting them together. The butt joint is the simplest joint to make since it merely involves cutting the members… …
