Abstract

Solid-state non-contact joining technology is an advanced joining method that does not involve melting of the workpiece and there is no direct contact between the tool and the workpiece. Ultrasonic welding, friction welding, explosive welding and resistance welding are the four non-contact solid-state welding techniques that are discussed in this chapter. The principle of operations, advantages, disadvantages and areas of applications of each of these advanced welding techniques are explained. Some of the research works in this area are also presented.
