WELDING LEAD [6 records]

Record 1 2018-10-29

English

Subject field(s)
  • Occupation Names (General)
  • Engineering
  • Welding and Soldering (Metals)
CONT

A welding engineer is a type of materials engineer concerned with all aspects of welding that lead to the manufacture of a product. Welding is the process of using a combination of pressure and heat to fuse separate pieces of metal into one piece. These engineers may research more effective welding techniques or design more efficient equipment to aid in the welding process. They may also oversee manufacturing processes to ensure quality control or evaluate inspection procedures.

G. Cotter Enterprises, Inc. has made tremendous advancements toward a finely tuned microwelding process. Microwelding originated with the mold makers needs in mind. [Since it is an] ultra sensitive method of welding, this skill is now applied to medical parts, electronic components, sensitive finished machined surfaces, polished surfaces, and any surfaces that would not lend themselves to conventional welding. The science behind microwelding is due to the tighter control of the arc in close spaces. The less heat added to the part, the least amount of distortion will result. Minimal sink(sink marks on the material surface due to melting into the base metal) is maintained through this process. Ultimately, precision microwelds lead to less rework, which in turn assist in lower cost for machining. In fact, many microwelds can be finished by hand.

Record 3 2000-12-21

English

Subject field(s)
  • Steel
CONT

In most steels it is desired to eliminate the particles formed by the reaction of the deoxidizer with the oxygen.... Free machining steels are exceptions where many small uniformly distributed particles of certain types are desired. These particles lubricate the cutting tool, prevent welding of the cut chip to the tool tip, and cause the chip to break into short pieces. Additions of lead, sulfur, manganese sulfide, selenium, and tellurium to the steel improve the machining properties of steels in this manner.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Acier
DEF

Acier allié contenant du plomb et du soufre pour faciliter son usinabilité par coupe.

CONT

Acier de décolletage. C'est un acier additionné de plomb ou de soufre pour en faciliter l'usinage sur machines-outils.

CONT

Aciers de décolletage. L'usinabilité est une propriété importante pour la fabrication des pièces mécaniques en grande série; [...] L'usinabilité [...] l'emporte sur les autres caractéristiques, d'où des additions importantes d'éléments favorables : le soufre ou le plomb [...] Les autres additions favorables, comme le sélénium, le tellure, le bismuth, sont peu utilisées pour les aciers d'usage général [...]

English

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

The removal of material from a surface by the welding together and subsequent shearing of minute areas of two surfaces that slide across each other under pressure. In advanced stages, may lead to galling.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Soudage (Métal)
DEF

English

Subject field(s)
  • Facilities and Equipment (Metal Joining)
CONT

... TORCH No. 1-A-FOR LEAD WELDING. Produces small pointed non-oxidizing flame. The goose-neck design and fibre handle make this torch easy to handle and provides finger tip control that makes it ideal for light lead welding.

Key term(s)
  • fiber handle

French

Domaine(s)
  • Équipement pour l'assemblage des métaux
CONT

(...) CHALUMEAU no 1-A - POUR LE SOUDAGE AU PLOMB. Le chalumeau 1-A produit une petite flamme pointue non oxydante. Sa lance en col de cygne et son manche en fibre en facilitent l'utilisation. De plus, avec son robinet à la portée du bout des doigts, ce chalumeau est idéal pour le soudage au plomb.

CONT

Repair work done to the wheel by welding or brazing can lead to two main problems : Heat stress set up by uneven heating-the wheel must be stressed-relieved.

Domaine(s)
  • Résistance des matériaux
  • Turbines
CONT

L'écart de température provoque les contraintes thermiques dans l'épaisseur du métal.

CONT

(...) emploi d'aciers spéciaux résistant à la chaleur et épaisseurs de métal suffisantes, sans aller trop loin dans cette dernière voie en raison des contraintes thermiques transitoires plus sensibles dans les pièces épaisses.
