  2. Soldering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soldering

    Desoldering a contact from a wire. Soldering (US: / ˈ s ɒ d ər ɪ ŋ /; UK: / ˈ s oʊ l d ər ɪ ŋ /) is a process of joining two metal surfaces together using a filler metal called solder. The soldering process involves heating the surfaces to be joined and melting the solder, which is then allowed to cool and solidify, creating a strong ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_furnace

    [1] [2] [3] Induction furnace capacities range from less than one kilogram to one hundred tons, and are used to melt iron and steel, copper, aluminum, and precious metals. The advantage of the induction furnace is a clean, energy-efficient and well-controlled melting process, compared to most other means of metal melting.

  5. Exploding wire method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exploding_Wire_Method

    A rising current, supplied by the capacitor, is carried across the wire. The current heats up the wire through ohmic heating until the metal begins to melt. The metal melts to form a broken series of imperfect spheres called unduloids. The current rises so fast that the liquid metal has no time to move out of the way. The unduloids vaporize.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass-to-metal_seal

    Dumet-wire is a copper clad wire (25% of copper by weight) with a core of nickel-iron alloy 42 (42% of nickel by weight). [10] The core having low CTE makes it possible to produce a wire with a radial CTE lower than a linear CTE of the glass, so that the glass-to-metal interface is under a low compression stress.

  7. Beryllium copper - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beryllium_copper

    Beryllium copper (BeCu), also known as copper beryllium (CuBe), beryllium bronze, and spring copper, is a copper alloy with 0.5–3% beryllium. [1] Copper beryllium alloys are often used because of their high strength and good conductivity of both heat and electricity. [2] It is used for its ductility, weldability in metalworking, and machining ...

    In the past couple of decades, we’ve had satellites trained on Earth’s ice sheets, documenting climate change-induced losses. Just like glaciers have carved the land, leaving behind features ...

  9. Fusible alloy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusible_alloy

    Fusible alloys are typically made from low melting metals. There are 14 low melting metallic elements that are stable for practical handling. These are in 2 distinct groups: The 5 alkali metals have 1 s electron and melt between +181 (Li) and +28 (Cs) Celsius; The 9 poor metals have 10 d electrons and from none (Zn, Cd, Hg) to three (Bi) p electrons, they melt between -38 (Hg) and +419 (Zn ...
