Record 1 2023-02-03

English

Subject field(s)
  • Welding and Soldering (Metals)
  • Printed Circuits and Microelectronics
DEF

A soldered connection where the surfaces being bonded [move] relative to one another while the solder [is] solidifying, causing an uneven solidification structure which may contain microcracks.

CONT

[The] added solder can cause what's known as a cold solder joint and the result could be that your circuit simply won't work.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Soudage (Métal)
  • Circuits imprimés et micro-électronique
CONT

[...] il peut arriver qu'une soudure semble bien effectuée alors qu'en réalité, elle n'effectue pas correctement le contact entre le circuit imprimé et la broche. C'est ce qu'on qualifie de «soudure froide». Généralement, mais pas toujours, il suffit de bouger légèrement la pièce soudée pour se rendre compte qu'elle n'est pas reliée fermement au circuit imprimé.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Soldadura (Metales)
  • Circuitos impresos y microelectrónica
CONT

Una soldadura fría se produce cuando no se aplica suficiente calor. El estaño queda adherido de forma defectuosa con lo cual se desprenderá con facilidad y además no asegura una buena conducción eléctrica.

Record 2 2016-01-25

English

Subject field(s)
  • Placement of Concrete
  • Joints and Connections (Construction)
DEF

A soldered connection which was inadequately heated, with the result that the wire is held in place by rosin flux, not solder.

CONT

We noticed a line (discolorization or hairline crack?) running along most of the walls. ... we were told this is probably caused by the concrete being poured in two batches, allowing some to partially dry, causing the line, and that this was called a cold joint. ... a cold joint ... is the line between two "lifts" or pours of concrete.

OBS

As opposed to "fresh joint."

French

Domaine(s)
  • Mise en place du béton
  • Joints et assemblages (Construction)
DEF

Joint produit par la mise en place de béton frais sur un béton durci.

OBS

Malgré ce qu'en dit le «Vocabulaire du béton» du CILF, cette notion ne doit pas être confondue avec celle de «joint de construction» (en anglais, «construction joint»).

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Aplicación del hormigón
  • Juntas y conexiones (Construcción)
DEF

Junta o discontinuidad formada cuando una superficie de hormigón fragua antes de que se vierta la siguiente amasada.
