Introduction Why using joining and fastening processes? 1- Products are impossible to be manufactured as a single piece due to size or transport constraints. 2- Repair of products during their service life. 3- Products made of different materials.
Fastening Processes 1- Mechanical Fasteners: Permanent Non-permanent riveting, press or shrink fitting assembly with threaded fasteners
Adhesive Bonding 2- Adhesive Bonding (gluing or glue bonding): Natural Inorganic Synthetic These are made from natural ingredients. e.g.: Starch, dextrin, soya flour, animal products There are made from inorganic chemical materials e.g.: sodium silicate, magnesium oxychloride Are based on natural and synthetic rubbers. They set by solvent evaporation or heat curing. e.g.: thermoplastic and thermosetting plastic
Joining Processes 3- Welding Process: • Welding is a materials joining process which produces coalescence of materials by heating them to suitable temperatures with or without the application of pressure, and with or without the use of filler material. • Welding is used for making permanentjoints. • Applications: ships, pressure vessels, automobile bodies, off-shore platform, welded pipes, sealing of nuclear fuel, explosive, aircraft frames, railway wagons, machine frames, structural works, tanks, furniture, boilers, and general repair work.
Joining Processes 3- Welding Process: welding processes could be classified according to the type of energy used in performing the process. Welding Process Mechanical Energy Both Energy Heat Energy Friction Welding Resistance Welding Fusion Welding
Joining Processes 3-1- Arc Welding (Fusion Welding): • The heat is obtained from electrical energy. • The arc is produced between tip of electrode & workpiece.
Joining Processes 3-1- Arc Welding (Fusion Welding): The basic elements involved in arc welding process:
Joining Processes 3-1- Arc Welding (Fusion Welding): The heat generated in arcmelts a portion of the tip of electrode, its coatingand base metal. Function of electrode coating: 1- Stabilize the arc. 2- Generate gases to act as a shield against atmosphere. 3- Control the rate which the electrode melts. 4- Produce slagwhich protects the molten weld pool. 5- Add alloying elements to the weld zone to enhance the properties.
Joining Processes 3-1- Arc Welding (Fusion Welding): • Advantages • Most efficient way to join metals. • Most simple method. • Lowest-cost joining method • Portable equipment useful in remote area • Affords lighter weight through betterutilization of materials • Joins all commercial metals • Provides design flexibility • Workpiece thickness range from 3 to 20 mm • Limitations • Manually applied, therefore high labor cost. • Need high energy causing danger • Not convenient for disassembly. • Defects are hard to detect at joints.
Joining Processes 3-1- Arc Welding (Fusion Welding): Applications: General constructions, ship building, pipelines, and maintenance work. Other arc welding processes 1- Submerged arc welding: The weld arc is shielded by granular flux. 2- Gas metal arc welding: The weld area is shielded by inert gas. 3- Flux-cored arc welding: Tubular electrode filled with flux. 4- Gas tungsten arc welding: Non-consumable electrode plus filler wire plus inert gas.
Joining Processes 3-2- Gas ”Oxy Fuel” Welding (Fusion Welding): A fusion welding process which joins metals, using the heat of combustion of an oxygen and fuel gas (i.e. acetylene, hydrogen propane or butane). The intense heat (flame) thus produced melts and fuses together the edges of the parts to be welded, with the addition of a filler metal.
Joining Processes 3-2- Gas ”Oxy Fuel” Welding (Fusion Welding):
Joining Processes 3-2- Gas ”Oxy Fuel” Welding (Fusion Welding): • Maximum temperature reached at tip of inner cone, while outer envelope spreads out and shields work surface from atmosphere. • Oxyacetylene can also be used for cutting metals • Shown below is neutral flame of oxyacetylene torch indicating temperatures achieved
Joining Processes 3-2- Gas ”Oxy Fuel” Welding (Fusion Welding): • 1- Oxygen is turned on, flame immediately changes into a long white inner area (Feather) surrounded by a transparent blue envelope is called Carburizing flame(30000c) • Used for welding: high carbon steel.
Joining Processes 3-2- Gas ”Oxy Fuel” Welding (Fusion Welding): • 2- Addition of little more oxygen give a bright whitish cone surrounded by the transparent blue envelope is called Neutral flame (It has a balance of fuel gas and oxygen) (3200 0C) • Used for welding: mild steel, stainless steel, cast iron, copper, and aluminum.
Joining Processes 3-2- Gas ”Oxy Fuel” Welding (Fusion Welding): • 3- If more oxygen is added, the cone becomes darker and more pointed, while the envelope becomes shorter and more fierce is called Oxidizing flame • Has the highest temperature about 34000c • Used for welding: copper base and zinc base metals.
Joining Processes 3-2- Gas ”Oxy Fuel” Welding (Fusion Welding): Flux: used to remove the oxide film and to maintain a clean surface. • Advantages • Portable. • Low cost equipment. • Suitable for all welding positions. • Can be used in cutting and preheating. • Limitations • Together, acetylene and oxygen are highly flammable. • C2H2 is colorless and odorless.
Joining Processes 3-3- Weld Joint (Fusion Welding): Terminological elements of welding process used with common welding joints
Joining Processes 3-3- Weld Joint (Fusion Welding): For welding the edges of joining surface of metals are prepared first.
Joining processes 4- Brazing & Soldering: • Only filler metal is melted, not base metal • Lower temperatures in all welding processes. • Filler metal distributed by capillary action • Metallurgical bond formed between filler & base metals • Strength of joint typically • stronger than filler metal itself • weaker than base metal • Pros & Cons • Can join dissimilar metals • Less heat - can join thinner sections (relative to welding) • Excessive heat during service can weaken joint
Joining processes 4-1 Soldering: Solder = Filler metal • Alloys of Tin (silver, bismuth, lead) • Melt point typically below 300 0C. Flux used to clean joint & prevent oxidation • separate or in core of wire (rosin-core) Tinning = pre-coating with thin layer of solder Applications: • Printed Circuit Board (PCB) manufacture • Pipe joining (copper pipe) • Jewelry manufacture • Typically non-load bearing Easy to solder: copper, silver, gold Difficult to solder: aluminum, stainless steels
Joining processes 4-2 Brazing: • Filler metals Cu alloys (silver, zinc & phosphorus) • Melt point typically above 300 0C) • Flux also used • Types of brazing classified by heating method: • Torch, Furnace, Resistance Applications: • Automotive - joining tubes • Pipe/Tubing joining (HVAC) • Electrical equipment - joining wires • Jewelry Making
