MODULE 2- METALS
Lesson 6- JOINING & FINISHING OPERATION

Introduction

In the metal Industry, Joining and Finishing is the probably the most important
part of the whole process of operation , the crucial part wherein the finished product
of your work will showcase its physical properties, aesthetically and functionally. This
process is sculptural by joining the components of a workpiece, usually a metal
materials producing a permanent joint between the parts to be assembled. The goal
here is that the joined parts should not be separated by any pressure or other forces.
Several techniques or methods of joining metals will be discussed in this module.
One is mechanical joining and others are the liquid-solid-state process or the
metallurgical joining.

Objectives

1. Identify the types of joining metal operations.


2. Identify the methods of joining metals.
3. Handle the actual operation of welding and soldering.

Overview

Metal joining is a process of joining or connecting metals together by applying


using heat to melt metals just below the melting point. Joining can also be done
through mechanically by using connecting tools.

Topic Discussion

There are types of joining metals:

1. Mechanical joining- is a process of joining metal parts by applying mechanical


energy. Ex.threaded holes, screws, nuts and bolts.

2. Metallurgical joining - is a process by which it involves chemical energy to join


metals. Ex. Fusion welding, pressure welding, brazing and soldering.
Also the use of adhesives is another type of joining metals.

Methods

1. soldering;
 Soft soldering- a process of joining two or more pieces of similar or dissimilar
thinner parts by an alloy called ”solder”, which has a lower melting point than
the base metal. The temperature is approximately 300 C to 350 C.

 Hard soldering- this process required an extra external heat which comes
from blow-lamp or oxy-acetylene flame to melt the solder. It is used for
underground cable-joint of telephone, electric etc.
2. brazing- is a kind of hard soldering. In this process , heat is applied from oxy-
acetylene flame at a greater heat . It produces a much stronger joint But it is a
temporary joint. It can be easily separated after heating of the welded metal.
3. brazing flux-This process utilize a chemical compound called “flux”. The role of the
flx here is to oxidize the or to dissolve the oxides from the metal which hinders the
process of welding because oxygen from oxides results to poor quality low strength
weld.
4. riveting- this is a mechanical type of joining two metal components. Rivets are
used to connect permanently two or more pieces of heavy section metal but it can
also be used to light gauge sheet.
5. welding- It is an industrial art of joining metals by pressure after heating to a
plastic state or joining two pieces of metals by fusion or by pressure to form a solid
union.

Tools needed in the operation:

1. Solder- a metal alloy used as filler metal usually made of tin and lead which is
melted using a hot iron. The hot iron is heated to 600 C which then cools to create a
strong electrical bond.
Alloy commonly used as electrical soldering are 60/40 Sn/Pb which melts at 188
C and 63/37, Sn/Pb used principally in electrical/electronic work. This mixture is a
eutectic alloy. Which has the lowest melting point of 183 C of all the tin-lead alloy.
Silver soldering uses an alloy containing silver.
Brass alloy used in brazing.

2. clamps
3. welding materials
4. straplers
5. guns, glues
6. crimping tool

Exercise:
Identify other tools needed in joining operation and describe its uses including the
above mentioned tools.

Steps in soldering:

1. Heat up your Iron


2. Make your connection mechanically stable

3. Clean your iron.


4. Apply heat and solder
5. Inspect the joint.
