flash welding (n)

butt welding by creating an electric arc between the two pieces which melts and joins them; used for joining segments of metal pipe

No Synonyms and anytonyms found

Flash welding involves the application of heat and pressure to fuse two metal pieces together in a rapid process.
The intense heat required for flash welding is generated by an electric arc formed between the two metal surfaces.
Electric current is used to create a controlled short circuit between the two workpieces in flash welding.
The electric arc's heat melts the metal at the joint, resulting in a molten pool.
The molten metal is expelled from the joint area as sparks and molten droplets during flash welding.
The excess metal is expelled outward, forming a characteristic flash, hence the term "flash welding."
Once the molten metal has been expelled, the two pieces are pressed together to form a solid-state bond.
Flash welding is commonly used to join ferrous and non-ferrous metals like steel, copper, and aluminum.
This welding method is often employed in the automotive, construction, and manufacturing industries.
Flash welding offers advantages such as high-speed welding, low distortion, and minimal post-weld cleanup.
