Title: Joining technologies for the 1990s: Welding, brazing, soldering, mechanical, explosive, solid-state, adhesive

Book ·
OSTI ID:6811662

This book presents recent advances in joining technologies for the 1990s-welding, brazing, soldering, mechanical fastening, explosive welding, solid-state bonding, and adhesive bonding. A major consideration in the fabrication of any commercial, military, or space product is attachment systems which are safe and reliable. The subject matter covered includes technology developed in current research programs relevant to welding, bonding, and fastening of structural materials, for fabricating structures and mechanical systems use in the aerospace, automotive, and related industries. Specific topics include equipment, hardware and materials used when welding, brazing, and soldering; mechanical fastening; explosive welding; use of unique selected joining techniques; adhesive bonding; and nondestructive evaluation. ''The Factory of the Future'' is presented, followed by advanced welding techniques, automated equipment for welding, welding in a cryogenic atmosphere, blind fastening, stress corrosion resistant fasteners, fastening equipment, explosive welding of different configurations and materials, solid-state bonding, electron beam welding, new adhesives, effects of cryogenics on adhesives, and new techniques and equipment for adhesive bonding.
