But if engineers need a strong, permanent joint, there seem to be only two choices: welding or brazing. Welding puts metal pieces together by melting and fusing them. Additive fillers are also ...

This makes it possible to slow down the sonotrode right before it touches the part, resulting in soft engagement and a clean weld joint. Welding forces are as low as 5 N, versus around 20 N with ...

Miter clamp or magnet square: to secure joints. Chipping hammer and wire brush: for cleaning up slag and spatter. Welding pliers: to trim welding wire and remove spatter from the welding-gun nozzle.

formally known as shielded metal arc welding, is the process of joining two pieces of metal by melting them using an ...
