7. ADVANTAGES
Narrow fusion zone.
Reduces distortion.
Extreme precision.
Dissimilar materials can join.
Vacuum chamber gives high purity
weld.
Repeatability by electrical control
system.
Welds up to 95% of the strength of the
base material.
8. DISADVANTAGES
High equipment cost.
Time delay when welding in vacuum .
High weld preparation costs.
X-rays produced during welding.
Can cause cracking in some materials.
13. ADVANTAGES
No melting occur.
Less time required.
Can weld thin sections.
Less distortion.
Can weld dissimilar materials.
65-100% Parent metal strength.
14. DISADVANTAGES
High degree of operator skill is
needed.
Equipment cost is high.
Life of equipment is short.
Mostly used to join thin sections.
15. APPLICATIONS
Glass and plastics can weld.
Can joint electric and electronic
components.
Fabrication of nuclear elements.
19. ADVANTAGES
No head loss at low discharge of water.
High efficiency than pelton wheel.
Operating head can simply controlled.
Less wear compare to pelton wheel.
