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.
Most aluminum will come from the factory with oil and grease on it. To clean the joint prior to assembly, first degrease the surfaces with a solvent, and then use a cheesecloth or paper towel to clean and dry the welding joint (these are preferred because they are porous and will absorb more oils/moisture).
