Heat fusion. Heat fusion (sometimes called heat welding, butt welding or simply fusion) is a welding process used to join two different pieces of a thermoplastic. This process involves heating both pieces simultaneously and pressing them together. The two pieces then cool together and form a permanent bond. When done properly, the two pieces ...
Butt welding. Butt welding is when two pieces of metal are placed end-to-end without overlap and then welded along the joint (as opposed to lap joint weld, where one piece of metal is laid on top of the other, or plug welding, where one piece of metal is inserted into the other). Importantly, in a butt joint, the surfaces of the workpieces ...
Hot plate welding, referred to as fusion welding in many industries, is commonly used to join plastic pipes. These pipes, as opposed to steel ones, are less likely to rupture during an earthquake. [1] Pipe welding uses special joint configurations, namely butt, socket and saddle/sidewall, each with its own welding procedures.
Two pointed electrodes apply pressure and current to two or more thin workpieces. Automobile industry, Aerospace industry. Resistance seam welding [6] 22. RSEW. Two wheel-shaped electrodes roll along workpieces, applying pressure and current. Aerospace industry, steel drums, tubing. Projection welding. 23.
Electrofusion welding. Electrofusion welding is a form of resistive implant welding used to join pipes. A fitting with implanted metal coils is placed around two ends of pipes to be joined, and current is passed through the coils. Resistive heating of the coils melts small amounts of the pipe and fitting, and upon solidification, a joint is formed.
Fusion welding is a generic term for welding processes that rely on melting to join materials of similar compositions and melting points. [1] Due to the high-temperature phase transitions inherent to these processes, a heat-affected zone is created in the material [1]: 755 (although some techniques, like beam welding, often minimize this effect ...
Welding. Overhead stick welding. Welding is a fabrication process that joins materials, usually metals or thermoplastics, primarily by using high temperature to melt the parts together and allow them to cool, causing fusion. Common alternative methods include solvent welding (of thermoplastics) using chemicals to melt materials being bonded ...
Electron-beam welding. Illustration of keyhole electron beam welding: 1) object, 2) electron beam, 3) keyhole, 4) weld. Electron-beam welding (EBW) is a fusion welding process in which a beam of high-velocity electrons is applied to two materials to be joined. The workpieces melt and flow together as the kinetic energy of the electrons is ...
