JOINING PROCESSES • MECHANICAL • Screw Fasteners • These are non-permanent methods of joining materials. There is a very wide variety of screw fasteners available they include; • Woodscrews • Self-drilling/tapping screws • Machine screws • Furniture screws • Bolts • Compression Joints

JOINING PROCESSES • MECHANICAL • Nuts & Washers
JOINING PROCESSES • MECHANICAL • Compression Fittings Straight Coupling Equal Tee Used primarily in plumbing applications
JOINING PROCESSES • MECHANICAL • Pop Rivets Pop Riveting Tool with Threaded Inserts This is a permanent joining process
JOINING PROCESSES • MECHANICAL • Rivets Snap Head Rivet Countersunk Rivet These are used for permanent joints in steel plate
JOINING PROCESSES • METALURGICAL • Soldering Electric Cable Replaceable Tip Insulated Handle Electric Soldering Iron
JOINING PROCESSES • METALURGICAL • Soldering Soldering Iron Stand Soldering Wire
JOINING PROCESSES • METALURGICAL • Soldering a Component on • A Circuit Board Component Lead Soldering Iron Circuit Board Foil The soldering iron tip is placed against the lead and the circuit board foil. Both are heated for 3 or 4 seconds
JOINING PROCESSES • METALURGICAL • Soldering a Component on • A Circuit Board Cored Solder Wire The solder is applied to the lead opposite the soldering iron. It is the heated lead and circuit board foil that melts the solder
JOINING PROCESSES • METALURGICAL • Soldering a Component on • A Circuit Board Molten Solder As the solder melts it flows around the connection and forms a good conductive joint with the foil. The soldering wire and the soldering iron are then withdrawn and the joint is allowed to cool
JOINING PROCESSES • METALURGICAL • Brazing Firebrick Brazing Torch Brazing Hearth
JOINING PROCESSES • METALURGICAL • Brazing Whole of joint area is heated and it is the heated joint that melts the Spelter Brazing Torch Brazing Rod (Spelter)
JOINING PROCESSES • METALURGICAL • Brazing Typical Brazing Applications
JOINING PROCESSES • Adhesives • Natural Adhesives • These are made from natural ingredients rather than being fabricated synthetically from chemicals. • Sources • Animal based • Fish based • Vegetable based
JOINING PROCESSES • Adhesives • Natural Adhesives • Some natural adhesives have the following properties, they can be; • Strong • Flexible • Waterproof • Soluble in water • Transparent However they are not as strong as synthetic adhesives and are usually more expensive
JOINING PROCESSES • Adhesives • Natural Adhesives • Are often used in furniture and architectural restoration projects • They are also friendlier to the environment; • No chemicals released into the soil or atmosphere in production or use • No aggravation of chemical based allergies • Manufactured from renewable resources
JOINING PROCESSES • Adhesives • Elastomer Adhesives • Are based on natural and synthetic rubbers. They set by solvent evaporation or heat curing. Used for flexible bonds in plastics and rubber
JOINING PROCESSES • Adhesives • Thermoplastic Adhesives • Are fusible, soluble but with poor heat and creep resistance
JOINING PROCESSES • Adhesives • Thermoset Adhesives • High strength, suitable for high load assemblies and resistant to heat and cold. Comparable with the strength of welded or riveted joints
JOINING PROCESSES • Adhesives • Toughened Adhesives • Research has led to the development of high strength, toughened adhesives. • They have small rubber-like particles dispersed throughout the glassy matrix. • This gives the adhesive a high resistance to crack formation
