GAP WELDING [3 records]

Record 1 2017-08-23

English

Subject field(s)
  • Welding and Soldering (Metals)
DEF

A welding involving localized melting without the application of force and with or without the addition of filler metal [Definition standardized by ISO].

CONT

Nearly all industrial welding involves fusion. The edges or surfaces to be welded are brought to the molten state. The liquid metal bridges the gap between the parts. After the source of welding heat has been removed, the liquid solidifies, thus joining or welding the parts together. In the past, there were three principal sources of heat for fusion welding : electric arc, electric resistance and flame.

Record 2 1998-03-24

English

Subject field(s)
  • Welding and Soldering (Metals)
DEF

To join metals by utilizing the effect of an arc created between the welding rod, which serves as an electrode, and a metal object. The arc is a discharge of electric current across an air gap. The high temperature generated by the arc melts both the electrode and the metal, permitting the molten metal to fuse.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Welding - Various Processes
CONT

Nearly all industrial welding involves fusion. The edges or surfaces to be welded are brought to the molten state. The liquid metal bridges the gap between the parts.... there are terms for five fusion welding processes....

French

Domaine(s)
  • Procédés de soudage divers
CONT

Les procédés de soudage sont nombreux. Ils peuvent être groupés en deux familles: d'une part les procédés ne faisant intervenir aucun effort extérieur, les bords à assembler étant portés à fusion (soudage par fusion) (...). D'autre part les procédés faisant intervenir un effort extérieur, les bords à assembler étant ou non, selon les procédés, portés à fusion (soudage avec pression).
