jet welding
Jet welding is a welding process that uses a jet stream of molten metal to create a joint between two pieces of metal. The emphasis in jet welding is on the jet of molten metal, which provides deep penetration of the base metals to establish a strong bond in the weld joint.
Key Features:
- Process: A molten metal stream is directed at the joint. The molten jet melts and fuses the base materials.
- Precision: The process provides controlled, localized heating, making it ideal for narrow or fine joints.
- Application: Commonly found in precision manufacturing, micro-welding, and applications where deep welds and minimal heat-affected zones are desirable.
Jet welding is well regarded for its ability to produce welds that are accurate and rapid and achieve very high quality in welds. It takes advantage of targeted heating to reduce the effects of heat distortion and rush, providing very effective means to join metallic systems, especially where traditional welding may not present as desirable due to broad targets; electronics, fine assemblies, and specialty metalwork applications.
