Can you Please tell me Joining process
A joining process refers to manufacturing techniques used to assemble two or more components into a single unit, either permanently or temporarily. These processes are essential for creating complex products by combining simpler parts efficiently.
Types of Joining Processes
-
Permanent Joining
-
Welding : Uses heat/pressure to fuse materials (e.g., arc welding, gas welding) (https://osme.co.in/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Metal-Joining-6th.pdf) .
-
Brazing : Joins metals using a filler (e.g., brass) melted above 450°C (https://www.me.iitb.ac.in/~ramesh/courses/ME206/Joining1.pdf) (https://www.iitg.ac.in/engfac/ganu/public_html/metal_welding_processes.pdf) .
-
Soldering : Similar to brazing but uses lower-temperature filler (e.g., tin-lead) (https://osme.co.in/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Metal-Joining-6th.pdf) .
Adhesive bonding : Employs resins or epoxies (https://www.minaprem.com/joining/) (https://monroeengineering.com/blog/joining-vs-forming-manufacturing-processes-whats-the-difference/) .
Riveting : Mechanical fastening with permanent deformation (https://www.differencebox.com/engineering/difference-between-joining-and-welding/) (https://monroeengineering.com/blog/joining-vs-forming-manufacturing-processes-whats-the-difference/) .
Temporary Joining
-
Fasteners : Bolts, screws, nuts, or clips allow non-destructive disassembly. (https://www.minaprem.com/joining/) (https://www.differencebox.com/engineering/difference-between-joining-and-welding/)
-
Press fits : Relies on friction for assembly (https://www.differencebox.com/engineering/difference-between-joining-and-welding/) (https://monroeengineering.com/blog/joining-vs-forming-manufacturing-processes-whats-the-difference/) .
-
Knuckle/cotter joints : Mechanical linkages for adjustable connections (https://www.minaprem.com/joining/)
-
Note : The term "joining process" can also refer to corporate hiring procedures (e.g., onboarding), but this usage is unrelated to manufacturing (https://www.differencebox.com/engineering/difference-between-joining-and-welding/) .
-
If its the corporate hiring procedure feel free to ask again.
