101Electric 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… …
102Plastic 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 …
103Friction 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… …
104Orbital welding — is a specialised area of welding whereby the arc is rotated mechanically through 360° (180 degrees in double up welding) around a static workpiece, an object such as a pipe, in a continuous process. Contents 1 History 2 Equipment 3 Application …
105American Welding Society — The American Welding Society (AWS) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing the science, technology, and application of welding and allied joining and cutting processes, including brazing, soldering, and thermal spraying. The… …
106Resistance welding — refers to a group of welding processes that produce coalescence of faying surfaces where heat to form the weld is generated by the resistance of the welding current through the workpieces. Some factors influencing heat or welding temperatures are …
107Electron beam welding — (EBW) is a fusion welding process in which a beam of high velocity electrons is applied to the materials being joined. The workpieces melt as the kinetic energy of the electrons is transformed into heat upon impact, and the filler metal, if used …
108Laser 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… …
109Pattern 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 …
110Explosion 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… …
