4.4 joining Flashcards
list permanent joining methods
welding
soldering
riveting
adhesives
welding
uses high temperatures to melt metal parts together
(different from soldering as soldering doesnt melt the parent metal bcs its done at lower tempreatures)
soldering
joining diff types of metals together by melting solder
riveting
mostly used for thin pieces of metal; rivets bind two or more pieces together
adhesive
substance applied between two surfaces to bond them together
adhesive types
PVA – easy to clean up, dries transparent, low life span
contact adhesive – rubber based, applied to both surfaces, and it bonds to itself which makes it ideal for non absorbent surfaces
liquid solvent cement – joins polymers irreversibly
epoxy resin – very strong and heat resistant, used for joining completely different materials together
superglue – high strength and drying speed
