dannyboquet(z9 So Louisiana) I think too much is being made about a farm being a true working farm.. We have 6 acres, with free range chickens and guineas, peacocks, 10 Nigerian Dwarf goats in a 2 acre fenced pature with a barn, we rent 2 stalls in the barn to a man with 2 horses. We have a large cage of Love Birds and a large cage of Cockatiels.
Welded joint. The joining of two or more metallic components by introducing fused metal (welding rod) into a fillet between the components or by raising the temperature of their surfaces or edges to the fusion temperature and applying pressure (flash welding). Figure 1 shows three types of welded joints.
A transformer supplies energy to the weld joint in the form of low voltage, high current AC power. The joint of the work piece has high electrical resistance relative to the rest of the circuit and is heated to its melting point by the current. The semi-molten surfaces are pressed together by the welding pressure that creates a fusion bond, resulting in a uniformly welded structure.
