Introduction Non-Arc Welding Processes • Resistive heating, chemical reactions, focused light and electrons, sound waves, and friction can also be used to join materials – – – – Resistance welding Oxy-Fuel Welding Friction welding (&Solid State) Laser and electron beam welding Brazing and soldering Plastics joining Adhesive bonding

Brazing (B) and Soldering (S) • In these processes, the base metals are heated

Brazing (B) and Soldering (S) • In these processes, the base metals are heated but do not melt; only the filler metal melts – Brazing filler metals having a melting point above 840° F (450°C) – Soldering filler metals have a melting point below 840°F (450°C) Brazing and Soldering
