    List of best soldering irons

    A soldering iron is similar to a power tool in that it allows you to complete tasks that you otherwise couldn’t. With the use of the tool, the solder is melted to join electrical connections once it has cooled. This procedure serves a similar purpose for the electronics in musical instruments, appliances, power tools, and…

  • Understanding Knuckle Joint

    Understanding Knuckle Joint

    The knuckle joint connects two rods whose axes either coincide or intersect and are in the same plane. They’re commonly found in tractor-trailers, roof truss tie rods, suspension bridge link joints, and steering systems, where they’re found between the steering rod and pinion. In this article, you’ll learn the definition, applications, diagram, design, construction, components,…

  • Different types of metals and their classifications

    Different types of metals and their classifications

    There are various types of metals out there suitable for specific applications. Even though metals are made by mining ore from within the earth. They are extracted from rocks in a large-scale industrial process. Leaving that aside, our purpose here is to discuss the different types of metals and their functions. But before that, different…

  • Understanding the various types of residual stress

    Understanding the various types of residual stress

    In solid materials, residual stress is stresses that remain in them after their original cause of stress is removed. Residual stress can be useless and useful in a material. that is, it may be desirable or undesirable. Unintended residual stress in a material may cause it to fail prematurely, while it can be used in…

  • Everything you need to know about keys and keyways (keyed joints)

    Everything you need to know about keys and keyways (keyed joints)

    In the mechanical engineering field, keyed joints are made up of keys and keyways. These keys can be machined into different forms depending on the type of key joints required. Keyways are machined surfaces on a shaft in the dimension of the key. They are fixed together to ensure no pulling apart of components and…

    different between welding and brazing joining process

    Welding vs Brazing Welding and brazing are very common joining processes widely used in the engineering world. The difference between the two is very obvious in their appearance and when put to service. These two methods can be used to join broken parts and or to fill a gap in metals. Today we are going…

  • Brazing joining process: everything you need to know

    Brazing joining process: everything you need to know

    Brazing is a joining process that differs from other joining processes like welding due to the fact that it does not melt the base metal during joining. Though brazing is classified among types of soldering it uses a higher temperature for joining. It also requires very close-fitted parts. The filler metal flows into the closely…

  • Understanding welding inspection

    Understanding welding inspection

    What is welding inspection and testing? Welding inspection is to check or know characteristics a weld has and to inspect discontinuities in the weld. The size of a weld is very important as its strength and performance can be determined. It is good to know the performance of a weld and to know if it…

  • 4 Basic types of welding positions

    4 Basic types of welding positions

    The different orientations in which welding can be done are referred to as welding positions. By taking into account elements like gravity, accessibility, and the flow of molten metal, these positions are designed to ensure that welders can join materials effectively in a variety of arrangements. For welders to produce high-quality welds across a variety…

    Different types of welding defects and remedies

    What are welding defects? Welding defects are irregularities or unwanted occurrences on a weld joint due to incorrect welding patterns or wrong welding processes. defects may occur in welding either inside or outside of the weld metal. These defects are of different types which brought about the study so that it can be prevented. Today…
