61Filler metal — A filler metal is a metal added in the making of a joint through welding, brazing, or soldering. Four types of filler metals exist mdash;covered electrodes, bare electrode wire or rod, tubular electrode wire and welding fluxes. Sometimes… …
62Submerged arc welding — (SAW) is a common arc welding process. Originally devolved by the Linde Union Carbide Company. It requires a continuously fed consumable solid or tubular (flux cored) electrode. The molten weld and the arc zone are protected from atmospheric… …
63Explosion welding — (EXW) is a solid state process where welding is accomplished by accelerating one of the components at extremely high velocity through the use of chemical explosives. This process is most commonly utilized to clad carbon steel plate with a thin… …
64Laser beam welding — (LBW) is a welding technique used to join multiple pieces of metal through the use of a laser. The beam provides a concentrated heat source, allowing for narrow, deep welds and high welding rates. The process is frequently used in high volume… …
65Atomic hydrogen welding — (AHW) is an arc welding process that uses an arc between two metal tungsten electrodes in a shielding atmosphere of hydrogen. The process was invented by Irving Langmuir in the course of his studies of atomic hydrogen. The electric arc… …
66Plasma 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 …
67Pattern welding — is the practice in sword and knife making of forming a blade of several metal pieces of differing composition that are forge welded together and twisted and manipulated to form a pattern. Often incorrectly called Damascus steel (which is produced …
68filler metal — noun (engineering) The metal required to be added at the weld in welding processes • • • Main Entry: ↑fill * * * filler metal, the metal used in welding to strengthen a welded joint. Filler metal is usually in the form of a welding rod or a wire… …
69Sheet metal — Sheets of stainless steel cover the Chrysler Building …
70Clinching (sheet metal) — Clinching redirects here. For the grappling term, see Clinch fighting. Clinching is a mechanical fastening method to join sheet metal without additional components using special tools to plastically form a mechanical interlock between the sheet… …
