6.1 Joining technology In general, joining components is usually classified as: Permanent or non-permanent joining process 9/16/2018 Permanent localized coalescence based on cohesion and/or adhesion between joining elements (Type 1), or Geometrical elastic or plastic locking of the joining elements (Type 2), or Using special joining elements like wedges, nails, bolts, ..etc. (Type 3).(based on generating stresses (elastic or plastic type) between the joined elements) PERMANENT NON-PERMANENT Joining technique Permanent joining processes Non-permanent joining processes Type 1 (Cohesion/Adhesion) Welding Brazing Soldering Gluing (adhesive bonding) Type 2(Geometrical locking) Shrinkage (pressing) Seaming.

6.2 Joining technique based on cohesion and/or adhesion principles
In cohesion: the elements are generally of the same metallic crystals and the coalescence is established by the supply of temperature or pressure or combination to create the required coalescence. Hence, the coalescence is based on atomic bonding forces between the two components. 9/16/2018 Friction and resistance spot welding process required: Supply heat + pressure In Adhesion : the coalescence between the two joining elements is established by bonding using surface physical forces. It is not necessary to have common metallic structure for the joining elements. Fusion welding process required: Supply heat only Chapter 6: Joining Process of Solid Materials - IE252 Adhesive bonding , soldering,

To achieve a satisfactory joining process based on coalescence of cohesion or adhesion, two basic requirements must be fulfilled: The surfaces involved must be free of oxide layer, absorbed gases, and other contaminations. The surfaces involved must be brought into intimate contact so that the bonding force activated. 9/16/2018 Chapter 6: Joining Process of Solid Materials - IE252

Different techniques are generally employed to achieve these requirements. Table 6.1, provides how these conditions fulfilled for different joining processes 9/16/2018 Condition 1: Oxide layer removal Condition 2: Establish intimate contact Melting point for work material Tw and filling material Tf Tw=Tf Tf < Tw Joining or welding process Type1: Melting (using fluxing agent) Flow (fusion) (w or w & f) + Fusion welding Type2 (Geometrical locking) Pressure (w) Pressure welding Type3 (Special joining elements) Flow(f) Brazing Soldering Gluing (adhesive bonding) Chapter 6: Joining Process of Solid Materials - IE252 Type 1 is characterized as a high temperature welding process (fusion welding processes), While type 2 is characterized as a pressure (pressure welding processes)

6.2 Joining technique based on cohesion and/or adhesion principles Type 1 is characterized as a high temperature welding process (fusion welding processes), While type 2 is characterized as a pressure (pressure welding processes) 9/16/2018 High Pressure, P (Pressure welding process High Temperature , T (Fusion welding process High Temperature (below melting point) at medium Pressure.(e.g. spot welding) Fig 6.2 Schematic illustration of useful combination of high pressure and high temperature (below melting point) e.g. resistance spot welding process. Chapter 6: Joining Process of Solid Materials - IE252 In between, these parameters (high pressure and temperature): It is possible to fulfill these conditions in the development of new and different welding processes. For example, resistant spot welding achieved by heating the two strips to forging temperature (below melting point) then applying pressure. Hence, the basic process of resistant spot welding are thermal (heating) and mechanical (plastic deformation).

In fusion welding, the coalescence between the two joining elements is established by localized melting of the joining surfaces to create cohesion based. Melting metal in the joining pool must be prevented or shielded from oxidation or possible contamination that result in porous weld will decrease welding strength. Two type of energy are common in fusion welding, electric and chemical energies. 6.3 Fusion Welding 9/16/2018 Type of energy Heating source Type of electrode Filler metal Protection Or Shielding method Welding process Consumable Non-consumable Electric Arc * Electrode Separate filler wire Non Coating electrode Granulated powder Inert gas Co2,Ar,He Metal-electrode arc Shielded metal arc Submerged-arc Gas-metal arc- MIG Gas-Tungsten-arc (TIG) Chemical Flame (oxygen + acetylene) Flame Gas weld Chapter 6: Joining Process of Solid Materials - IE252
