JOINING PROCESSESMECHANICALScrew FastenersThese are non-permanent methods of joining materials. There is a very wide variety of screw fasteners available they include;•Woodscrews•Self-drilling/tapping screws•Machine screws•Furniture screws•Bolts•Compression Joints

JOINING PROCESSESMETALURGICALSoldering a Component on A Circuit Board
Soldering Iron
Circuit BoardFoil
Component Lead
The soldering iron tip is placed against the lead and the circuit board foil. Both are heated for 3 or 4 seconds
JOINING PROCESSESMETALURGICALSoldering a Component on A Circuit Board
Cored Solder Wire
The solder is applied to the lead opposite the soldering iron. It is the heated lead and circuit board foil that melts the solder
JOINING PROCESSESMETALURGICALSoldering a Component on A Circuit Board
Molten Solder
As the solder melts it flows around the connection and forms a good conductive joint with the foil. The soldering wire and the soldering iron are then withdrawn and the joint is allowed to cool

Typical Brazing Applications
JOINING PROCESSESAdhesivesNatural AdhesivesThese are made from natural ingredients rather than being fabricated synthetically from chemicals.
Sources•Animal based•Fish based•Vegetable based
JOINING PROCESSESAdhesivesNatural AdhesivesSome natural adhesives have the following properties, they can be;•Strong•Flexible•Waterproof•Soluble in water•TransparentHowever they are not as strong as synthetic adhesives and are usually more expensive
JOINING PROCESSESAdhesivesNatural AdhesivesAre often used in furniture and architectural restoration projects
They are also friendlier to the environment;•No chemicals released into the soil or atmosphere in production or use•No aggravation of chemical based allergies•Manufactured from renewable resources
JOINING PROCESSESAdhesivesElastomer AdhesivesAre based on natural and synthetic rubbers. They set by solvent evaporation or heat curing. Used for flexible bonds in plastics and rubber
Type Description MaterialsNatural Rubber Water resistant Rubber, plastics, steel,
fabrics, wood, glass
Neoprene Contact adhesive Wood, metal, leather, plastics
Butyl Rubber Tyre repairs Rubber products
Polyurethane High strength joint Glass, polyurethane, plastic, metals
Silicone Rubber Sealant, space filling, water resistant, glazing
Silicone, glass, metals
JOINING PROCESSESAdhesivesThermoplastic AdhesivesAre fusible, soluble but with poor heat and creep resistance
Type Description MaterialsPolyvinyl Acetate (PVA) Emulsion type wood glue,
poor resistance to waterWood, metal, glass, ceramics
Cyanoacrylates Hardens in seconds based on catalytic action
Metal, plastics, ceramics, etc
Polyamines Applied hot – sets on cooling (hot glue gun)
Metal, wood, plastics, laminates
Anerobic Acrylic Acid Diesters
Locking and sealing nuts and threaded parts
Metals
JOINING PROCESSESAdhesivesThermoset AdhesivesHigh strength, suitable for high load assemblies and resistant to heat and cold. Comparable with the strength of welded or riveted joints
Type Description MaterialsResorcinol Resins Used in exterior plywood Wood and other porous
materials
Polyesters (unsaturated) Hardens by chemical reaction, not evaporation – very little shrinkage
Binder for fibre glass
Epoxy Resin 2-part, high strength, little shrinkage
Metal, glass, elastomers, some plastics
Redux© adhesive (brand name)
High performance, aerospace, marine, automobiles
Metals
JOINING PROCESSESAdhesivesToughened AdhesivesResearch has led to the development of high strength, toughened adhesives.
They have small rubber-like particles dispersed throughout the glassy matrix.
This gives the adhesive a high resistance to crack formation
