business and finance mechanical and industrial engineering industryWhat is fay surface sealing?
Faying surfaces are the contacting surfaces or faces of two similar or dissimilar materials placed in tight contact to form a joint. They are mating surfaces that contain a sealant in between them during any assembly process so that there is no gap or crevice left between them.
Likewise, what is a fay seal?
A method of sealing between two components includes applying and curing a layer of fay surface sealant to a first component. A layer of liquid shim is located between the second component and the layer of fay surface sealant thereby substantially filling the gap.
Also to know, what is meant by the term faying surface?
A faying surface is one of the surfaces that are in contact at a joint. Faying surfaces may be connected to each other by bolts or rivets, adhesives, welding, or soldering.
Electric resistance welding (ERW) is a welding process where metal parts in contact are permanently joined by heating them with an electric current, melting the metal at the joint. The electric current can be supplied to electrodes that also apply clamping pressure, or may be induced by an external magnetic field.
