2. Method of joining metals
1. Rivets/Nuts & bolts
2. Soldering
3. Brazing
4. Welding
5. Adhesives
Soldering & Brazing: Part to be joined do not
melt
Welding: Metal also melts & solidifies
3. For Good joints:
wettability, smooth & clean surfaces
Interfaces Temp. ≥ melting Temp. of filler
B: non wettability
A: wettability
4. Bonding Mechanism
The continuous metallic bridge between the
two parts provides the bond between the two
metals(part).

6. Point source : multi-pass for
thick plate
Line source: single-pass for
thin plate

7. HAZ in Steel
1. Weld zone
2. Partially melt zone
3. Excessive grain growth
4. Austenite zone
5. Partial austenite zone
6. Tempered zone
7. Base metal
Austenite+ferrite
8. HAZ in age hardenable alloy
1. Weld metal
2. Partial melting
3. Precipitation
4. Precipitation coarsening
5. Original metal
