Study Notes

GTAW Process: Helium vs Argon

Helium gas provides deeper penetration compared to Argon gas during Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) under similar conditions

Ultrasonic Welding

Ultrasonic welding is effective for joining thin sheets of soft materials

Metallurgical Continuity

Diffusion of atoms and grain boundary formation establishes metallurgical continuity between two substrates

Temperature and Bonding Time

Higher temperatures lead to shorter bonding times during metal bonding

Weld Joint Cleanliness

A clean weld joint is free from impurities, inclusions, and slag

Hardenability and Weldability

High hardenability in steel reduces weldability

Welding High Carbon Steel

A high cooling rate during welding of high-carbon steel results in high hardness

Baking of Electrode

Baking of electrodes is beneficial for ensuring consistency in the electrode coating

Joining Techniques

Joining techniques include welding, brazing, and soldering - Machining is not a joining technique

Types of Welding

Oxy-acetylene welding uses gas as a heat source

Riveting

Riveting is a joining technique

Major Element in Steel

Iron is the major element in steel

Tensile Test

Tensile test can determine the yield stress of a material
