  2. Arc welding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arc_welding

    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 the metals at the point of contact. Arc welding power supplies can deliver either direct (DC) or alternating (AC) current to the work, while consumable or non-consumable electrodes are used.

  3. Radio-frequency welding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio-frequency_welding

    Radio-frequency welding, also known as dielectric welding and high-frequency welding, is a plastic welding process that utilizes high-frequency electric fields to induce heating and melting of thermoplastic base materials. [1] The electric field is applied by a pair of electrodes after the parts being joined are clamped together.

  4. Ultrasonic welding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrasonic_welding

    Ultrasonic welding of thin metallic foils. The sonotrode is rotated along the weld seam. Ultrasonic welding is an industrial process whereby high-frequency ultrasonic acoustic vibrations are locally applied to work pieces being held together under pressure to create a solid-state weld.

  5. Electron-beam welding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron-beam_welding

    Welding speed – The welding equipment enables adjustment of the relative speed of motion of the workpiece with respect to the beam in wide enough limits, e.g., between 2 and 50 mm/s. Material properties – Depending on conditions, the extent of evaporation may vary, from negligible to complete.

  6. Spot welding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spot_welding

    When welding a common combination like 1.0 + 1.0 mm sheet steel, the voltage between the electrodes is only about 1.5 V at the start of the weld but can fall as low as 1 V at the end of the weld. This decrease in voltage results from the reduction in resistance caused by the workpiece melting.

  7. Percussion welding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percussion_welding

    The electrical energy for the percussion welding can be supplied by a transformer, as alternating current (or rectified), or by the discharge of capacitors.Because of the short duration of the arc and of the fact that all of the weld energy comes from this arc, the electrical resistance of the parts to be welded does not affect the amount of heat generated at the weld and substances of ...

    Candle toppers are cute, open metal lids that often have intricate designs. Like the aluminum foil, they help keep the flames protected from wind and drafts so the wax can melt evenly.

  9. Shielded metal arc welding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shielded_metal_arc_welding

    Shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), also known as manual metal arc welding (MMA or MMAW), flux shielded arc welding [1] or informally as stick welding, is a manual arc welding process that uses a consumable electrode covered with a flux to lay the weld. An electric current, in the form of either alternating current or direct current from a ...
