welding Flashcards
welding?
joining two metals using energy and pressure
resistance spot welding?
form of resistance welding where the electrodes are used to conduct electrcity and apply pressure

applications of spot welding?
- cars
- sheet assembly
arc welding TIG?
tungesten inert gas: operator uses two hands one for filler material and one for the electrode. the tungesten rod is not disposable
applications of TIG?
- bikes
- aerospace
- tubes
arc welding MIG?
metal inert gas: operator uses 1 hand and the rod is disposable and it acts as the filler material
applications of MIG?
railways
Oxyacetylene Welding?
Fusion-welding processes use heat to melt the base metals. In many fusion welding operations, a filler metal is added to the molten pool to facilitate the process and provide bulk and strength to the 2 welded joint.
flame cutting?
Oxyacetylene Welding – Applications ?
For joining most ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Automotive and aircraft industries. Sheet metal fabricating plants. For joining materials requiring slow rates of heating and cooling
