Pressure Welding a welding process in which a weld is made by a sufficient pressure to cause plastic flow of the surfaces, which may or may not be heated. 

An integrated circuit connector pad, consisting of a polymer film 22 acting as a carrier for an array of metal tubes 24 which extend through the film and protrude from each side, is continuously dipped in molten indium until the tubes are filled with indium by capillary action. The indium-filled tubes are affixed on a read-out chip. Next, the original metal tubes are etched away and the carrier is lifted off. Finally, the detector chip is aligned in position with the indium columns and the read-out chip and the detector chip are joined by pressure welding. 

A pressure welding process in which the surfaces to be united are softened by a jet of hot air or inert gas. 

In pressure welding, the parts to be joined are locally heated at the place where the joint is to be formed. The parts are then pressed together in the plastic state so that they are joined. Usually no filler is employed. Cold pressure welding makes use of high pressure, without the aid of heat, to unite parts. Ultrasonic and explosion welding are variations of this technique. 

Rimming steel is often used for furnace-welded pipe. The low carbon skin of skelp rolledout from a rimmed ingot is particularly good for pressure welding and the finished pipe has good corrosion resistance on both inside and outside surfaces. Seamless pipe made from rimming steel is, however, only acceptable for non-corrosive service.

Coin-type nonaqueous rechargeable batteries are used in the field of backup power source for electroiuc devices, because of their advantages, such as high energy density and Ught weight. In the case of a battery based on lithium, lithium has to be pressure-welded or electrochemically deposited to the negative electrode.

In the field of rail welding, the thermite process supplements and sometimes replaces flash or gas-pressure welding. The latter methods require very costly factory installations. They furnish rails about one-quarter of a mile long, which are hauled to the point of field installation. Here one can resort to the old-fashioned mechanical join-Ing (a source of most maintenance on a railroad) or use field welds. The best of these is the thermite weld. It may be used exclusively with specialty items such as crossings, for haulage tracks in coal mines, and for crane rails. ... 

Laminates are composites made by combining two or more natural or artificial materials to maximise the useful properties of the components and minimise the weaknesses of individual components. A laminate consists of one or more sheets of fibres of one or more materials permanently bonded together by heat, pressure, welding, or adhesives. Different laminate stractmes that are used in cut/stab resistant personal protective equipment (PPE) are discussed below. 

Pressure welding - where pressure only is applied, e.g. to a rotating part where the heat is developed through friction, as in friction welding. 

Friction occurs because surfaces, however smooth they may look to the eye, have many microscopic humps and crests. Therefore the actual area of contact is very small, and the consequent very high pressure leads to local pressure welding of the surfaces. During motion the welds are broken and remade continually. See also rolling friction.
