NASA explored the use of ribbon explosives to weld a variety of different joints in a memorandum published in the 1980s. Image credit: NASA, public domain Explosion welding occurs with the metal ...

They should be carefully considered and, if possible, controlled. The success of welding and brazing depends on correct joints between base materials. Each process uses different joint types. Welding ...

In some cases, the two different alloys are incompatible due to melting points, exothermic heat of mixing, insolubility, brittle phase formation, and corrosion factors. In these cases a bimetal or ...

Each joint type has unique characteristics that make it suitable for different tasks within welding projects. Understanding these distinctions helps ensure the integrity of your work. Strengths and ...

Laser welding has already come a long way, but more work is needed to better understand future uses in the collision repair environment.
