Soldering: Bonding by melting a soft metal to the surface of pieces to be joined. Low temperature. Good for joining dis-similar materials. Most common solders are lead-tin alloys. Tinning: A soldering process, where the surface of a metal is coated with solder. Leading A form of soldering, solder is used to fill in the surface of metal. Brazing: Similar to soldering, but uses a higher temperature to fuse the filler metal to the work pieces. Stronger bond. (Includes "Silver Soldering") Work heated to pre-melt temperatures. Welding: Joining 2 similar work pieces by melting them together, usually with an additional filler rod of some sort to take up space. Materials must be similar. Cutting: Work is heated to melting point and beyond, and "cut" by oxidizing metal. (Literally burning it away). Shield: A barrier to keep oxygen away from heated work to prevent oxidation. Includes chemical coatings called flux (liquids, pastes, solids, which may be vaporized into a barrier gas when heated), and inert gasses. Oxidation of the surfaces will prevent proper bonding of the metals.
Welding
Welding is a very efficient way of joining metals Welding is labour intensive In a welded structure subject to fluctuating loads, the strength of the welds determine the strength of the structure It is important to select the right weld type for the right job
Plate preparation
Fillet Weld
Dry Joint
Plate preparation
Material Strength
Select common steels
Grade250 and Grade350
Weld fatigue strength does not increase with yield strength of steel
Carbon Content
Use steel grades with lowest carbonequivalent Steels with CE < 0.35 can be welded with any electrode type and with any process Steels with CE > 0.5 need special care
