  2. Metal fabrication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_fabrication

    Workers welding in parking garage. Welding is the main focus of steel fabrication. [8] Formed and machined parts are assembled and tack-welded in place, then rechecked for accuracy. If multiple weldments have been ordered, a fixture may be used to locate parts for welding. A welder then finishes the work according to engineering drawings (for ...

  3. Metalworking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metalworking

    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 that cools to become a strong joint, but sometimes pressure is used in conjunction with heat, or by itself, to produce the weld.

    Overhead stick welding. Welding is a fabrication process that joins materials, ... The main differences between welding glass and plastic are the types of heating ...

  5. Metallurgy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metallurgy

    Metallurgy derives from the Ancient Greek μεταλλουργός, metallourgós, "worker in metal", from μέταλλον, métallon, "mine, metal" + ἔργον, érgon, "work" The word was originally an alchemist's term for the extraction of metals from minerals, the ending -urgy signifying a process, especially manufacturing: it was discussed in this sense in the 1797 Encyclopædia ...

  6. Cladding (metalworking) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cladding_(metalworking)

    Particular dispositions for repairing parts (ideal if the mould of the part no longer exist or too much time is needed for a new fabrication). Most suitable technique for graded material application. Well adapted for near-net-shape manufacturing. Low dilution between track and substrate (unlike other welding processes and strong metallurgical bond.

  7. Arc welding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arc_welding

    It is a type of welding that uses a welding power supply to create an electric arc between a metal stick ("electrode") and the base material to melt the metals at the point of contact. Arc welding power supplies can deliver either direct (DC) or alternating (AC) current to the work, while consumable or non-consumable electrodes are used.

  8. Forge welding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forge_welding

    Forge welding (FOW), also called fire welding, is a solid-state welding process [1] that joins two pieces of metal by heating them to a high temperature and then hammering them together. [2] It may also consist of heating and forcing the metals together with presses or other means, creating enough pressure to cause plastic deformation at the ...

  9. Shielded metal arc welding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shielded_metal_arc_welding

    Shielded metal arc welding is one of the world's most popular welding processes, accounting for over half of all welding in some countries. Because of its versatility and simplicity, it is particularly dominant in the maintenance and repair industry, and is heavily used in the construction of steel structures and in industrial fabrication.
