Q

Joining of materials are performed with the help of heat and pressure or pressure alone. A metallurgical bond is created with little or no melting of the base metals. To metallurgically bond two similar or dissimilar metals, the two metals must be
brought into intimate contact so that their atomic forces attract each other. What am I?

Solid State Welding

32
Q

Two or more sheets are kept one above the other and rolled to generate bonding between them. What am I?

A

Roll Welding or Bonding

33
Q

Because of progressive explosion, high pressure zone propels
the flyer plate to collide with the backer metal progressively at high velocity, so that
an angular shape is generated as the explosion advances.

34
Q

A non-consumable rotating tool with a specially designed pin and shoulder is

What Am I?

A

Friction Stir Welding

35

distributed by capillary action between the faying
(contact) surfaces of the metal parts being joined. What am I?

A carbon or graphite rod though which the current is conducted between the electrode holder and the arc.

43
Q

What is metal-arc electrode?
