English

Subject field(s)
  • Textiles: Preparation and Processing
  • Technical Textiles
  • Synthetic Fabrics
CONT

Several methods of welding exist. In all method, the thermoplastic material is joined by raising the temperature of the substrate to a level that melts the fabric at the interface of the two plies. Pressure applied in a controlled manner promotes the flow of one material into the other and upon cooling a weld bead is formed.

OBS

Welding techniques include hot air welding, hot wedge welding, dielectric welding and ultrasonic welding.

Record 2 2014-11-06

English

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

The process of uniting softened surfaces of materials generally with the aid of heat. [Definition standardized by ISO.]

OBS

In some countries, particularly Canada, U.K. and U.S.A., the term "sealing" is used rather than "welding" for processes in which the surfaces of films are united by the application of heat and pressure: for example, Dielectric sealing, High-frequency sealing, R.F. [Radio Frequency] sealing and Ultrasonic sealing.

OBS

welding: term standardized by ISO and by the American Welding Society (AWS).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Soudage (Métal)
DEF

Opération d'assemblage qui assure la liaison permanente et continue des éléments constitutifs d'une pièce ou d'un ensemble, en mettant à profit l'aptitude à la liaison des atomes ou des molécules des matériaux mis en œuvre.

OBS

Les assemblages ainsi réalisés prennent le nom de soudures.

OBS

Bien que l'on retrouve dans plusieurs ouvrages (Dictionnaire encyclopédique Quillet; Grand Larousse encyclopédique) le terme «soudure» pour décrire le procédé, il est plus juste d'employer le terme «soudage», le terme «soudure» désignant plutôt le résultat de l'opération de «soudage».

OBS

soudage : terme normalisé par l'ISO.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Soldadura (Metales)
DEF

Proceso de unir superficies ablandadas de materiales, generalmente con ayuda de calor.

OBS

Operación por la cual dos o más partes se unen por medio de calor o presión o utilizando ambos métodos, de tal forma que haya continuidad en la naturaleza de estas partes. Puede utilizarse o no, un material de relleno con la misma temperatura de fusión al de la soldadura base.
