  2. Aluminium joining - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium_joining

    Aluminium alloys are often used due to their high strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, low cost, high thermal and electrical conductivity.There are a variety of techniques to join aluminium including mechanical fasteners, welding, adhesive bonding, brazing, soldering and friction stir welding (FSW), etc. Various techniques are used based on the cost and strength required for the joint.

  3. Glass-to-metal seal - Wikipedia

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

    Uranium glass used as lead-in seals in a vacuum capacitor. Glass-to-metal seals are a type of mechanical seal which joins glass and metal surfaces. They are very important elements in the construction of vacuum tubes, electric discharge tubes, incandescent light bulbs, glass-encapsulated semiconductor diodes, reed switches, glass windows in metal cases, and metal or ceramic packages of ...

  4. Tankard - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankard

    Metal tankards often come with a glass bottom. The legend is that the glass-bottomed tankard was developed as a way of refusing the King's shilling, i.e., conscription into the British Army or Navy. The drinker could see the coin in the bottom of the glass and refuse the drink, thereby avoiding conscription.

  5. Induction sealing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_sealing

    The bottom layer is a polymer film laminated to the foil. After the cap or closure is applied, the container passes under an induction coil , which emits an oscillating electromagnetic field . As the container passes under the induction coil (sealing head), the conductive aluminum foil liner begins to heat as a result of the eddy currents being ...

  6. Hermetic seal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermetic_seal

    When the glass and the metal being hermetically sealed have the same coefficient of thermal expansion, a "matched seal" derives its strength from bond between the glass and the metal's oxide. This type of glass-to-metal hermetic seal is generally used for low-intensity applications such as in light bulb bases.

  7. Double seam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_seam

    A double seam is a canning process for sealing a tin can by mechanically interlocking the can body and a can end (or lid). Originally, the can end was soldered or welded onto the can body after the can was filled. [1] However, this introduced a variety of issues, such as foreign contaminants (including lead and other harmful heavy metals).

  8. Thermocompression bonding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermocompression_bonding

    Thermocompression bonding describes a wafer bonding technique and is also referred to as diffusion bonding, pressure joining, thermocompression welding or solid-state welding. Two metals, e.g. gold-gold (Au), are brought into atomic contact applying force and heat simultaneously. [1]

  9. Percussion welding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percussion_welding

    The electrical energy for the percussion welding can be supplied by a transformer, as alternating current (or rectified), or by the discharge of capacitors.Because of the short duration of the arc and of the fact that all of the weld energy comes from this arc, the electrical resistance of the parts to be welded does not affect the amount of heat generated at the weld and substances of ...
