INTRODUCTION

Some products cannot be manufactured as a single piece. Thedesired shape and size of such products can be obtained byjoining two parts of same or different materials. These parts aremanufactured individually and are joined together to obtain thedesired product.
Metal fabrication involves joining of two metals together. Variousprocesses are used to join the metals together depending onthe strength of the joint, material and thickness of the workmetals and other several factors. Metal Joining processes aregenerally classified as:
1. Welding
2. Soldering
3. Brazing
4. Mechanical Fasteners like bolts, nuts, rivets, screws etc.
5. Adhesive bonding.

WELDING
3
DefinitionWelding is a fabrication process of joining two similar or
dissimilar metals by heating them to a suitable
temperature and then fusing them together with or
without the application of pressure and filler metal.
Types
1. Plastic or Pressure Welding (Under pressure without
additional filler metal)2. Fusion or non-pressure welding (With additional filler
material)

ARCWELDING
Working principle:Arc welding is a fusion welding process and basically works
on the principle that the intense heat produced by an
electrical arc struck between the electrode (filler rod) and the
work metal is used to join the two metals. In this weldingprocess the electrical energy is converted into heat energy
producing a temperature of around 50000C in the welding
zone. The high temperature of the electric arc melts the base
metal and at the same time the tip of filler metal also melts
and mixes with molten base metal to form the weld metal.
The weld metal cools and solidifies to form the weld.

OXY-ACETYLENEWELDING
7
Principle of operation:
Oxy-Acetylene Welding is basically a fusion type of gas
welding process, in which a flame produced by the
combustion of gases is employed to melt the metal. By
burning acetylene in combination with right proportion of
pure oxygen, in a welding torch, a flame upto 35000C can be
attained. As in arc welding, a filler metal is used to fill the
joint. The molten metal is allowed to flow together thus
forming a solid continuous joint upon cooling.

The flame temp. is not uniform throughout the entire length of the
flame, indeed it varies with the gas composition. There are three
kinds of flame:
1. Neutral Flame
2. Oxidizing Flame
3. Carburizing Flame

SOLDERING
Definition:Soldering is defined as the method of joining two
similar or dissimilar metals by using another low temp.
metal alloy called solder under the application of heat.
Types:
Soldering is classified into,
1. Soft Soldering
2. Hard Soldering

WORKINGPRINCIPLE

The surfaces to be joined are cleaned and are placed on each
other. A flux is employed to prevent oxidation. The solder is heated
by soldering iron and the molten filler metal is made to flow between
the two closely placed adjacent surfaces by the capillary action. Inthe soldering process only the solder melts and the workpieces
does not.
Though soldering results in a good joint between the two plates,
the strength of the joint is limited. The soldered joints are not
suitable for high temperature applications because of the lowmelting temperatures of the filler metals used.

METHODOFSOLDERING
12
The following operations are required to be
performed sequentially for making soldered joints.
1. Shaping and fitting of metal parts together
2.
Cleaning of surfaces3. Application of flux
4. Tinning
5. Application of heat
6. Cooling and final clean up

BRAZING
13
Definition:
Brazing is defined as the method of joining two
similar or dissimilar metals by using a non-ferrous
fusible filler metal called spelter (having melting
point lower than that of the base metal) under the
application of heat.
Types:
Brazing is classified into,
1. Gas Torch Brazing
2. Furnace Brazing
3. Dip Brazing
4. Electrical Brazing

WORKINGPRINCIPLE
14
The surfaces to be joined are cleaned and are placed in joining position.
A flux is employed to prevent oxidation. The part to be joined is heated
and the molten filler metal is made to flow between the two closelyplaced adjacent surfaces by the capillary action. If a large gap is
present, capillary action will not take place and the joint will not be
strong
Brazing gives a much stronger joint than soldering. The principal
difference is the use of a harder filler material commercially known asspelter. The spelter is usually an alloy of copper, zinc and tin.

METHODOFBRAZING
15
The following operations are required to be performedsequentially for making soldered joints.
1. Cleaning and preparing the surface to be brazed.Cleaning may be done by wire brushing, filing orgrinding.
2. Coating the surface of both base metal and the fillermetal with a flux.
3. The parts are aligned, held in right position andclamped.
4. Heating the joint using a blow torch or other suitable
mean in the presence of the filler metal.5. Filler metal melts and fills the joint by capillary action.
6. The joint is allowed to cool and later is cleaned with asolvent to remove the left out flux.
