Joining metal without welding is a little more tricky but in this short article we ll cover the basics.
How to join sheet metal without welding.
Welding is not an easy process and not everyone knows the proper way to do it.
Researchers have now developed an alternative that is able to join aluminium alloys with each other and with polymers.
It is possible to join metal pieces by methods like riveting soldering bolting or brazing.
Then you use a braze a dissimilar metal with a lower melting point to solidly stick the two pieces together.
Other than this nano metals and adhesives can also be used to join metal pieces together without welding.
This is when the alternatives to welding can come in handy.
For brazing you use a flame torch to heat up the two pieces of metal with a flux to protect it from corroding.
The result is basically a really solid metal glue that can take a lot of abuse.
These include techniques such as soldering brazing and riveting along with the use of adhesives or even nanomaterials.
