What is NATO Supply Classification Class 3438?

NSC 3438 is the NATO Supply Classification Class (also known as Federal Supply Class FSC 3438 in the USA) for supply items codified in the category of Miscellaneous Welding Equipment.

Which Federal Supply Group is FSC 3438 in?

FSC 3438 is in Federal Supply Group (FSG) 34 which contains Metalworking Machinery.

Which NATO Supply Classification Group is NSC 3438 in?

NSC 3438 is in NATO Supply Classification Group (NSG) 34 which contains Metalworking Machinery.

What is a Cold Pressure Welding Machine?

A Cold Pressure Welding Machine (WELDING MACHINE,COLD PRESSURE) is a device designed to join nonferrous metals without preheating or utilizing filler material or fluxes. Bonding results from the plastic flow of metal under pressure.

What is an Electron Beam Welding Machine?

An Electron Beam Welding Machine (WELDING MACHINE,ELECTRON BEAM) is an automated welding process that sends highly accelerated electrons into the workpiece vaporizing a small focal cylinder to a depth of up to 8 in (20cm), melting the adjacent material. High vapor forces push material to the side, producing a key hole. As the beam advances the molten material surrounding the key hole flows to the rear and solidifies, creating an extremely narrow weld seam. Consisting of an electron beam gun, work chamber, workpiece manipulator, vacuum systems for gun and work chamber, power supply and controller. May include optical viewer.
