Q

is the blending of compatible molten metals into one common part or joint.

-Fusing of metals is accomplished by producing sufficient heat for the metals to melt, flow together and mix.

-The heat is then removed to allow the fused joint to solidify.

Q

-often referred to as gas welding, gets its name from the two gases, oxygen and acetylene, that are used to produce a flame.

  • Acetylene is the fuel for the flame and oxygen sup-ports combustion and makes the flame hotter.

Q

results when two pieces of metal are brought together so that their edges form a —– of a box or rectangle.

This joint can only be used where load stresses are not significant.

A

Corner Joints

6
Q

is the form of elec-tric arc welding that is used most in aircraft mainte-nance.

It also is known as gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) and by the trade names of Heliarc and Heliweld .

A

TIG, or tungsten inert gas welding

6

Q

Where load stresses are not significant, —– joints may be used to join two pieces of sheet metal.

A

Edge joints

7
Q

is the exposed surface of the weld.

A

Face

7
Q

is seldom used in aircraft structures when welding with gas, but is commonly used when spot welding.

A

Lap joints

7
Q

is the metal that is deposited as the weld is made.

A

Bead

7
Q

ontrolling the expansion and contraction of metals during welding is necessary to reduce distortion, warping and residual stress.

These effects are more noticeable when welding long sections of thin sheet metal.

Expansion and contraction of metal

8
Q

is the depth that fusion penetrates into the base metal.

A

Root

9
Q

is the distance through the center from the root to the face.

A

Throat

10
Q

Is the edge formed where the face of the weld meets the base metal.

A

Toe

11
Q

is the quantity of weld metal added above the surface of the base metal.

A

Reinforcement

11
Q

A weld must be formed correctly to achieve the intended strength and to resist joint fatigue.

If a joint is not made properly, the strength can be reduced as much as 50 percent.

A
