Terms and Definitions Reminder about Welding:

Automatic Welding is performed with automatic equipment that requires no controls adjustment by an operator.

Braze is the joint resulting by heating an assembly to the brazing temperature using a filler metal whose liquidus is higher than 450 0C (840 0F) and lower than the solidus of the base metal.

Double Welded Joint is a fusion welded joint that is welded from both sides of its thickness.

Friction-surfacing, a modification of friction welding, is a solid state process whereby layers of various metals are deposited upon a metallic substrate.

Gas Cylinder is a portable container used to store and transport compressed gas.

Hot Pressure Welding is a solid state welding process that produces a weld by application of heat and pressure sufficient to cause macro deformation of the base metal.

Reduced Section Tension Test is performed on a specimen where, in the middle of its reduced section, is located a transverse section of the weld.

Thermite Welding is a process that realizes joining of two parts by fusing them together with heat and filler metal given off by superheated molten metal from exothermic reactions, poured in a mold assembled around the joint.
