Reading: Joining Methods: Riveting, Welding, Brazing

Joining methods include riveting, welding, and brazing for metal assembly. Riveting uses rivets to fasten parts together mechanically, creating permanent joints without heat. Welding melts metals to fuse them, requiring high temperatures and protective gear to avoid burns or eye damage. Brazing uses filler metal at lower temperatures than welding, suitable for delicate materials. Safety is crucial with protective equipment like gloves, masks, and ventilation to prevent fumes. These methods create strong bonds for design projects, ensuring durability.

Indigenous practices used similar joining for tools, like binding with natural fibers in the Kimberley and Pilbara, promoting harmony with nature. Year 7 students learn safe joining techniques, integrating cultural awareness. Proper use ensures durability and supports complex designs in technology. Joining fosters innovation while honoring traditions. (Word count: 125)
