Atomic hydrogen welding — (AHW) is an arc welding process that uses an arc between two metal tungsten electrodes in a shielding atmosphere of hydrogen. The process was invented by Irving Langmuir in the course of his studies of atomic hydrogen. The electric arc… … Wikipedia
atomic hydrogen welding — noun : arc welding that utilizes an alternating current arc between two metal electrodes to dissociate hydrogen from a surrounding stream so that when the hydrogen atoms recombine into molecules at the surface of the part being welded they supply … Useful english dictionary
Arc welding — uses a welding power supply to create an electric arc between an electrode and the base material to melt the metals at the welding point. They can use either direct (DC) or alternating (AC) current, and consumable or non consumable electrodes.… … Wikipedia
Carbon arc welding — (CAW) is a process which produces coalescence of metals by heating them with an arc between a nonconsumable carbon (graphite) electrode and the work piece. It was the first arc welding process ever developed but is not used for many applications… … Wikipedia
Gas tungsten arc welding — TIG welding of a bronze sculpture Gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), also known as tungsten inert gas (TIG … Wikipedia
Gas metal arc welding — RMD redirects here. RMD may also refer to IRA Required Minimum Distributions. Gas metal arc welding … Wikipedia
Shielded metal arc welding — (SMAW), also known as manual metal arc (MMA) welding, flux shielded arc welding … Wikipedia
welding — Art of fastening metals (or plastic) together by means of interfusing them. They are heated to a suitable temperature. In some cases pressure is used to bond them together. In other cases a filler material (solder) is used to join them. Among the … Dictionary of automotive terms
Welding — is a fabrication process that joins materials, usually metals or thermoplastics, by causing coalescence. This is often done by melting the workpieces and adding a filler material to form a pool of molten material (the weld puddle ) that cools to… … Wikipedia
