INTRODUCTION BACKGROUND The Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning Contractors' National Association, Inc. (SMACNA) has found that joining metal by welding is one of the most labor−intense operations in the sheet metal industry. Predicting and controlling the costs and...
Preface Beverage cans and many parts in aircraft, appliances, and automobiles are made of thin sheet metals formed by stamping operations at room temperature. Thus, sheet metal forming processes play an important role in mass production. Conventionally, the forming...
FOREWORD As housing construction grows more complex, and the building business becomes more involved, SMACNA recognizes the need for a reference on the proper fabrication and installation of exterior sheet metals in residential buildings. The first edition of the Residential...
Ultrasonic Welding of Metal Sheets covers various aspects of ultrasonic welding (USW) of metal sheets, including the discussion on modeling and numerical simulations of ultrasonic welding to improve this welding process and performance. This book aims to provide an...
This Japanese Industrial Standard specifies requirements for the polyvinyl chloride prepainted and laminated metal sheets, supplied either as sheets (hereafter referred to as sheets) or as coiled products (hereafter referred to as coils), that are produced by laminating...
This document defines the requirements and testing for joints of metal sheets, with or without insulating coatings, used as natural components in roofs, facades or walls of buildings, suitable to conduct lightning current in LPS where the interconnection of these metal...
5.1 Use this test method for acceptance and process control testing. This test method may be used as an alternative to Test Method D1876 when the bond strength is sufficiently high that failure of the pulling tabs may occur before peeling initiates. This test method extends the bond strength...
