a) There are different ways of categorizing the wide variety of
available
joining processes. According to classification by the American
Welding
Society (AWS), joining processes fall into three major categories
i.e
welding, adhesive bonding and mechanical fastening. Compare
these
three various joining methods in term of its strength and easy
to
manufacture characteristics.
b) Some types of welding processes can be classified into both
fusion and
solid-state categories. Distinguish the fundamental process for
both
categories.
c) Shielded metal-arc welding (SMAW) is one of the oldest,
simplest, and
most versatile joining processes. About 50% of construction,
shipbuilding, pipelines, and maintenance work industrial
currently
performed by this process. Illustrate and use a schematic diagram
to show
the equipment and the shielded metal-arc welding process.
