WHAT DOES COLD WELDING MEAN IN ENGLISH?

cold welding

Cold welding

Cold or contact welding is a solid-state welding process in which joining takes place without fusion/heating at the interface of the two parts to be welded. Unlike in the fusion-welding processes, no liquid or molten phase is present in the joint. Cold welding was first recognized as a general materials phenomenon in the 1940s. It was then discovered that two clean, flat surfaces of similar metal would strongly adhere if brought into contact under vacuum. Newly discovered micro- and nano-scale cold welding has already shown great potential in the latest nanofabrication processes. The reason for this unexpected behavior is that when the atoms in contact are all of the same kind, there is no way for the atoms to “know” that they are in different pieces of copper. When there are other atoms, in the oxides and greases and more complicated thin surface layers of contaminants in between, the atoms “know” when they are not on the same part. —Richard Feynman, The Feynman Lectures, 12–2 Friction Applications include wire stock and electrical connections.

Definition of cold welding in the English dictionary

The definition of cold welding in the dictionary is the process of joining without heat by forcing them together so that the oxide films are broken and adhesion occurs.
