Welding Method Selection
Methods of Welding Metals Welding is a fabrication process wherein two or more parts are fused together by means of heat, pressure or both forming a join as the parts cool. Welding is typically suited for metals and thermoplastics nevertheless could also be used on wood. A few materials necessitate the employment of specific processes and techniques. Several materials are considered as 'unweldable,' a term not ordinarily present in dictionaries however practical and illustrative in engineering. The parts nor sections or components that will be joined are termed as parent material. The material added to assist in forming the join is referred to as filler or consumable. The form of these materials often see them labelled as parent plate or pipe, filler wire, consumable electrode , and so on. The completed welded joint is called a weldment. Consumables are typically selected for being comparable in composition to the parent material, consequently forming a homogeneous weld, yet...
