Shaving horses in use. The shavehorse is commonly used in the preparation of stock prior to turning in a lathe, to roughly form cylindrical billets, the intermediate dressing phase between a crudely dressed raw split log and the final lathe work. As the name "horse" suggests, the worker sits astride the shaving horse.
Seam welding has been used to manufacture steel beverage cans but is no longer used for this as modern beverage cans are seamless aluminum. There are two modes for seam welding: Intermittent and continuous. In intermittent seam welding, the wheels advance to the desired position and stop to make each weld.
This is a list of welding processes, separated into their respective categories. The associated N reference numbers (second column) are specified in ISO 4063 (in the European Union published as EN ISO 4063 ). [ 1 ]
A specialized process called shot welding, can be used to spot weld stainless steel. [47] Seam welding also relies on two electrodes to apply pressure and current to join metal sheets. However, instead of pointed electrodes, wheel-shaped electrodes roll along and often feed the workpiece, making it possible to make long continuous welds.
Incorrect (left) and correct (right) seams. The production of a high-quality double seam is dependent on several factors, including conformity to the set can and end specifications, the quality of the seamer tooling used and its compliance with the can and end being used, the condition of the seaming machine and the setup of the seaming rolls, lifter pressure and other components.
Autogenous welding is a form of welding in which the filler material is either supplied by melting the base material or is of identical composition. [1] The weld may be formed entirely by melting parts of the base metal, and no additional filler rod is used. There is some variation in the use of this term.
The symbolic representation of a V weld of chamfered plates in a technical drawing. The symbols and conventions used in welding documentation are specified in national and international standards such as ISO 2553 Welded, brazed and soldered joints -- Symbolic representation on drawings and ISO 4063 Welding and allied processes -- Nomenclature of processes and reference numbers.
The main obstacle to overcome in this process is the setting of the parameters. For example, if over-welding occurs, then the concentration of plastic in the weld zone may be too low and cause the seal to break. If it is under-welded, the seal is incomplete. [17] Variations in the thicknesses of materials can cause variations in weld quality.
