This industrial application for fabricating the body of three-piece containers mostly uses double reduced tinplate material of around 0.2 mm thick. The can body is made from a rectangular piece of tinplate, formed into a cylinder, welded followed by insertion and double seaming of the end caps. Resistance mash seam welding is most commonly applied to the welding of the longitudinal cylinder seams, where the automated character of the process achieves speeds of 80 to 115 m/min. A good quality weld consists of intermittently repeated overlapping weld nuggets, which create a continuous gas tight welded seam along the total height of the can body.

    Resistance Welding Introduction

    RESISTANCE WELDING INTRODUCTION Resistance Welding is a welding process, in which work pieces are welded due to a combination of a pressure applied to them and a localized heat generated by a high electric current flowing through the contact area of the weld.

    FATIGUE, BOND AND CRACKING CHARACTERISTICS' OF REINFORCED CONCRETE TENSION MEMBERS by Ploutarchos John Yannopoulos B.Sc.(Eng.), A.C.G.I., M.Sc.(Eng.), D.I.C. a thesis submitted for the .degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Engineering . of the University of London Department of Civil Engineering imperial College of Science and Technology London January 1976 2 ABSTRACT This thesis describes an investigation of the fatigue, bond and cracking characteristics of reinforced concrete tension members. To improve the state of knowledge on the behaviour of reinforced concrete beams under fatigue loading, an experi- mental investigation of the fatigue life of hot rolled de- formed bars, as affected by their embedment in concrete, their test length in air and identification marks within their length, was carried out. An extensive number of statistically planned fatigue tests were performed on a large proportion of the hot rolled deformed bar types marketed in the United Kingdom, which were either free in air or embedded axially in concrete tension members. The fatigue test results were analysed and compared statistically and curves of stress range against number of cycles to failure were determined by regression analyses, for different probabilities of survival. Extensive numbers of tests were also carried out to determine the bond stress-slip relations for hot rolled de- deformed bars and mild steel plain bars, from specimens with a concrete embedment length of 38 mm. The effect of bar back load, bar pull relative to the settlement of concrete, concrete cover to bar and different intensity repeated loading on the bond stress-slip relationships was also statistically determined.

This is often done by melting the workpieces and adding a filler material to form a pool of molten material (the weld pool) that cools to become a strong joint, with pressure sometimes used in conjunction with heat, or by itself, to produce the weld. This is in contrast with soldering and brazing, which involve melting a lower-melting-point material between the workpieces to form a bond between them, without melting the workpieces. Many different energy sources can be used for welding, including a gas flame, an electric arc, a laser, an electron beam, friction, and ultrasound. While often an industrial process, welding can be done in many different environments, including open air, under water and in outer space. Regardless of location, welding remains dangerous, and precautions are taken to avoid burns, electric shock, eye damage, poisonous fumes, and overexposure to ultraviolet light.

D.C. 20403 FOREWORD The purpose of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (Public Law 91-596) is to ensure safe and healthful working conditions for every working person and to preserve our human resources by providing medical and other criteria that will ensure, insofar as practicable, that no worker will suffer diminished health, functional capacity, or life expectancy as a result of his or her work experience. The Act authorizes the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) to develop and recommend occupational safety and health standards and to develop criteria for improving them. By this means, NIOSH communicates these criteria both to regulatory agencies and others in the community of occupational safety and health. Criteria documents provide the basis for the occupational health and safety standards sought by Congress.

FIRST EDITION NEW YORK THE INDUSTRIAL PRESS LONDON: THE MACHINERY PUBLISHING CO., LTD. 1918 COPYRIGHT, 1918, BY THE INDUSTRIAL PRESS NEW YORK COMPOSITION AND ELECTROTYPING BY F. H. GILSON COMPANY, BOSTON, U. S. A. PREFACE ELECTRIC welding has become so important an art in the mechanical industries that a comprehensive treatise on this subject covering both the resistance and the arc welding proc- esses is needed in the trade. A special study of the subject has, therefore, been made by the authors of this work, who have been assisted in their work by the experts in resistance and arc welding of some of the most prominent concerns in the United States engaged in this line of work. Credit is especially due the C. & C. Electric & Mfg. Co., the General Electric Co., the Lincoln Electric Co., the Thomson Electric Welding Co., the Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Co., and the Wilson Welder & Metals Co. for the cooperation and assistance which they have rendered in supplying information in connection with this undertaking. Consultations with the experts of these companies have made it possible to obtain thoroughly up-to-date information embodying the latest devel- opments and discoveries in the art, and it is believed that, for this reason, the book will prove especially useful to those who are already employing electric welding equipment or who are contemplating its use, as well as to the students of the subject who desire to obtain authoritative information on the electric welding processes.
