Zváracie

Zváracie refers to the process of welding in Slovak. Welding is a fabrication process that joins materials, usually metals or thermoplastics, by causing fusion, which is often accomplished by melting the workpieces and adding a filler material to form a pool of molten material that cools to become a strong joint. Pressure can also be used in conjunction with heat or by itself to produce the weld. Various energy sources can be used for welding, including a gas flame, an electric arc, a laser, an electron beam, friction, and an ultrasonic source.

The process of welding is distinct from other joining processes such as brazing and soldering, which do not melt the base material and which rely on a filler metal to join the pieces. Brazing and soldering also have lower melting points than welding.

There are many different types of welding processes, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Some common types include arc welding (such as shielded metal arc welding, gas metal arc welding, and gas tungsten arc welding), resistance welding, and solid-state welding. The choice of welding process depends on factors such as the type of materials being joined, the thickness of the materials, the required strength of the joint, and the cost.

Welding is a crucial process in many industries, including manufacturing, construction, automotive, aerospace, and shipbuilding. It is used to create everything from bridges and buildings to vehicles and spacecraft. The quality of a weld is critical for the structural integrity and safety of the final product.
