English

Subject field(s)
  • Arc Welding
CONT

This course [Quality Assurance Special Metals Welding] includes (...) tungsten inert gas DC welding procedures (...)

OBS

tungsten-inert gas welding: Welding in which an arc plasma from a non consumable tungsten electrode radiates heat onto the work surface, to create a weld puddle in a protective atmosphere provided by a flow of inert shielding gas; heat must then travel by conduction from this puddle to melt the desired depth of weld. Abbreviated TIG welding.

OBS

DC: direct current.

Key term(s)
  • tungsten inert gas direct current welding

French

Domaine(s)
  • Soudage à l'arc
OBS

Le procédé T.I.G. fait appel à une électrode infusible (tungstène ou tungstène thorié), qui occupe l'axe d'une buse refroidie, délivrant le gaz de protection, qui peut être de l'argon, de l'hélium, ou, parfois, un mélange argon-hydrogène. Le métal d'apport est amené dans un bain de fusion au fur et à mesure de l'avancement de l'arc. Lorsque ce dernier est alimenté en courant continu, on doit placer la pièce à souder au pôle positif, pour éviter que l'électrode de tungstène se désagrège sous l'effet des électrons émis par le bain de fusion.

Record 6 1986-01-06

English

Subject field(s)
  • Air Pollution
CONT

While much emphasis has been placed on reducing sulphur dioxide emissions, NOx emissions must also viewed with concern due to their contribution to the pH depression associated with the snowpack melt episodes. This depression, when imposed on the surface waters where the acidity has already been increased due to excess sulphates, results in levels of acidity that may be critical and occur at sensitive life stages of many aquatic organisms, even though the long-term average acidity may be tolerated by a normal biological habitat.
