  2. Heat-affected zone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat-affected_zone

    Heat-affected zone around a weld. In fusion welding, the heat-affected zone (HAZ) is the area of base material, either a metal or a thermoplastic, which is not melted but has had its microstructure and properties altered by welding or heat intensive cutting operations. The heat from the welding process and subsequent re-cooling causes this ...

  3. List of welding processes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_welding_processes

    The oldest welding process in the world. Oxides must be removed by flux or flames. Damascus steel: Friction welding: 42: FRW Thin heat affected zone, oxides disrupted by friction, needs sufficient pressure Aerospace industry, railway, land transport Friction stir welding: 43: FSW A rotating non-consumable tool is traversed along the joint line

  4. Welding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welding

    The heat-affected zone (HAZ) is a ring surrounding the weld in which the temperature of the welding process, combined with the stresses of uneven heating and cooling, alters the heat-treatment properties of the alloy. The effects of welding on the material surrounding the weld can be detrimental—depending on the materials used and the heat ...

  5. Geographical zone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geographical_zone

    The sun's rays are always slanting, so provide less heat per horizontal surface area. The North Frigid Zone includes the United States (only the state of Alaska), the northern regions of Canada (the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, and Yukon), Greenland , Norway, Finland, Sweden, and Russia. The South Frigid Zone includes only Antarctica.

  6. Friction stir welding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friction_stir_welding

    The stir zone (also known as the dynamically recrystallised zone) is a region of heavily deformed material that roughly corresponds to the location of the pin during welding. The grains within the stir zone are roughly equiaxed and often an order of magnitude smaller than the grains in the parent material. [17]

  7. Friction welding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friction_welding

    Friction welding (FWR) is a solid-state welding and bonding process that generates heat through mechanical friction between workpieces in relative motion to one another. The process is used with the addition of a lateral force called "upset" to plastically displace and fuse the materials. [ 1 ]

  9. Oxy-fuel welding and cutting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxy-fuel_welding_and_cutting

    It is the heat that continues the cutting process. The cutting torch only heats the metal to start the process; further heat is provided by the burning metal. The melting point of the iron oxide is around half that of the metal being cut. As the metal burns, it immediately turns to liquid iron oxide and flows away from the cutting zone.
