  2. Truss connector plate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truss_connector_plate

    As the plate is pressed in, the teeth are all driven into the wood fibers simultaneously, and the compression between adjacent teeth reduces the tendency of the wood to split. A truss connector plate is manufactured from ASTM A653/A653M, A591, A792/A792M, or A167 structural quality steel and is protected with zinc or zinc-aluminum alloy ...

  3. Solderability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solderability

    Both quantitative and qualitative tests for solderability exist. [6] The two most common testing methods are the 'dip and look' method and wetting balance analysis.In both of these tests, the soldered pieces undergo an accelerated aging process before being tested for solderability, to take into consideration the time a component was in storage prior to mounting to final assembly.

  4. Solder alloys - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solder_alloys

    Soldering copper pipes using a propane torch and a lead-free solder. Solder is a metallic material that is used to connect metal workpieces. The choice of specific solder alloys depends on their melting point, chemical reactivity, mechanical properties, toxicity, and other properties.

  5. Galvanization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvanization

    Galvanized surface with visible spangle Galvanization ( also spelled galvanisation ) [ 1 ] is the process of applying a protective zinc coating to steel or iron , to prevent rusting . The most common method is hot-dip galvanizing , in which the parts are coated by submerging them in a bath of hot, molten zinc.

  6. Soldering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soldering

    Soldering and brazing are thought to have originated very early in the history of metal-working, probably before 4000 BC. [2] Sumerian swords from c. 3000 BC were assembled using hard soldering. Soldering was historically used to make jewelry, cookware and cooking tools, assembling stained glass, as well as other uses.

  8. Hot-dip galvanization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot-dip_galvanization

    Galvanised hand rail Crystalline surface of a hot-dip galvanized handrail, known as "spangle" Protective effect: completely rusted letter box mounted to a hot-dip galvanized wall Steel strip coming out of the zinc pot of a continuous vertical hot-dip galvanizing line. Hot-dip galvanization is a form of galvanization.

  9. Galvannealed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvannealed

    Production of galvannealed sheet steel begins with hot dip galvanization of sheet steel. After passing through the galvanizing zinc bath the sheet steel passes through air knives to remove excess zinc, and is then heated in an annealing furnace for several seconds causing iron and zinc layers to diffuse into one another causing the formation of zinc-iron alloy layers at the surface.
