  2. Arc welding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arc_welding

    Arc welding is a welding process that is used to join metal to metal by using electricity to create enough heat to melt metal, and the melted metals, when cool, result in a binding of the metals. It is a type of welding that uses a welding power supply to create an electric arc between a metal stick ("electrode") and the base material to melt ...

  3. Gas metal arc welding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_metal_arc_welding

    Spray transfer GMAW. Gas metal arc welding (GMAW), sometimes referred to by its subtypes metal inert gas (MIG) and metal active gas (MAG) is a welding process in which an electric arc forms between a consumable MIG wire electrode and the workpiece metal (s), which heats the workpiece metal (s), causing them to fuse (melt and join).

  4. Helmholtz free energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helmholtz_free_energy

    e. In thermodynamics, the Helmholtz free energy (or Helmholtz energy) is a thermodynamic potential that measures the useful work obtainable from a closed thermodynamic system at a constant temperature (isothermal). The change in the Helmholtz energy during a process is equal to the maximum amount of work that the system can perform in a ...

  5. Electron-beam welding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron-beam_welding

    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 transformed into heat upon impact. EBW is often performed under vacuum conditions to prevent dissipation of the electron beam.

  6. Free energy suppression conspiracy theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_energy_suppression...

    Free energy suppression (or new energy suppression) is a conspiracy theory that technologically viable, pollution-free, no-cost energy sources are being suppressed by governments, corporations, or advocacy groups. [1][2] Devices allegedly suppressed include perpetual motion machines, cold fusion generators, torus -based generators, reverse ...

  7. Free energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_energy

    Free-energy relationship, a relationship in physical organic chemistry. Principle of minimum energy, a thermodynamic formulation based on the second law. Thermodynamic free energy, the energy in a physical system that can be converted to do work, including: Gibbs free energy. Landau free energy (also known as grand potential)

  8. Thermodynamic free energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_free_energy

    The free energy is the portion of any first-law energy that is available to perform thermodynamic work at constant temperature, i.e., work mediated by thermal energy. Free energy is subject to irreversible loss in the course of such work. [1] Since first-law energy is always conserved, it is evident that free energy is an expendable, second-law ...

  9. Orbital welding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_welding

    Along with the current methods of using TIG cold and hot wire welding, there has also been steady progress in the development of MIG/MAG/FCAW welding which allows a whole range of new applications in a variety of industries including aerospace, medical, automotive and more. [5]
