Study Notes

Advanced Joining Processes

  • The presentation covers various advanced joining processes, focusing on joining by forming.
  • Types of joining include: force-closed joining, form-closed joining, and material-closed joining.

Joining by Forming

  • This method involves applying pressure or force to create a connection between materials without melting
  • Three main types of joining by forming are discussed: force-closed, form-closed, and material-closed
  • Force closed joining relies on interference pressure and applies pressure to one tube, causing expansion and contact with another tube

Forming Mechanisms - Force-Closed Joining

  • The tubes are precisely positioned.
  • Pressure is applied to one tube, causing it to expand, and create contact with the other.
  • Both tubes slightly deform.
  • This technique creates a strong durable joint due to residual stresses.

Forming Mechanisms - Form-Closed Joining

  • This technique involves an interlocking design between parts, often involving grooves, threads, or knurls.
  • These components have specific shapes which interlock and are formed to achieve a durable bond.
  • The design is a critical factor in determining the strength and durability of the joint.

Forming Mechanisms - Material-Closed Joining

  • Two materials are joined under high pressure and velocity.
  • The materials deform plastically, forging a metallurgical bond.
  • Methods include: magnetic pulses, explosion welding, and high-velocity impacts.

Mechanical Joining by Forming

  • Main categories include tubular and planar components.
  • Joining methods explained using various visuals (diagrams).

Advantages and Disadvantages of Joining Methods

  • Different joining methods (force-closed, form-closed, material-closed, rolling, hydroforming, crimping, electromagnetic forming, plastic instability) have different advantages and disadvantages.
  • Factors include materials compatibility for joining, equipment costs, complexity, process controls, durability.
