In this method, the torch precedes the welding rod, ... the torch is held at approximately a 45 degree angle from the vertical away from the direction of welding, with the flame directed at the molten puddle. The welding rod is between the flame and the molten puddle. This position requires less transverse motion than is used in forehand welding. 3, record 1, English, - backhand%20welding

Le soudage avec arc court (dit aussi : en régime sous-critique) donne lieu à un transfert par courts-circuits : le fil est fin (diamètre de 0,6 à 1,2 mm), le grossissement de la goutte entraîne une diminution de la longueur d'arc et une baisse de tension. Lorsque la goutte touche le bain (longueur d'arc nulle), la tension tend vers 0 et l'arc s'éteint. Le courant continuant de passer et la résistance de la portion de circuit comprise entre le tube de contact et la pièce étant très faible, l'intensité croît [...] l'effet de pincement augmente [dû à la puissance des forces électromagnétiques]. Soumise à cet effet à l'action de la tension superficielle du bain, la goutte se détache. Puis la tension s'élève et l'arc se réamorce. Une autre goutte se forme et le cycle recommence. La durée totale d'un tel cycle est de l'ordre de 1 à 2 centièmes de seconde. 2, record 4, French, - transfert%20par%20court%2Dcircuit

Revêtement par projection de métaux [...] Pistolets à plasma. Ils sont [...] du type à poudre. Un tel pistolet est constitué par une cathode en tungstène thorié et une base anode en cuivre [...] percée d'un ajutage étroit. Si l'on fait jaillir l'arc entre l'anode et la cathode et que l'on force un gaz (généralement de l'argon ou de l'azote) à passer dans cet arc, il est ionisé et, la température étant très élevée [...] il est éjecté par cet ajutage à une vitesse voisine de la vitesse sonique. Si l'on introduit dans cette chambre un matériau en poudre fine, il est instantanément fondu et pulvérisé violemment sur la surface à recouvrir. 5, record 9, French, - pistolet%20%C3%A0%20plasma

Several chemical definitions relate to welding. One is known as burning or oxidation. This takes place when any substance combines with oxygen usually at high temperatures. An example of this is the combining of acetylene with oxygen. This produces carbon dioxide plus water plus a large amount of heat. We use the heat produced by the burning of acetylene in the flame of the oxyacetylene torch to make welds. 3, record 10, English, - metal%20burning

The plasma-keyhole method is a welding process where the gas flow is restricted through a reduction of the gas orifice. This increases the gas velocity and the arc temperature. Severe constriction of the gas flow produces a cutting arc, which is utilised in plasma arc cutting(PAC). The plasma arc blows a hole through the joint of the plate. Behind the hole the molten metal flows together filling the hole, due to the gravity forces, surface tension and the gas pressure from the shielding gas. 1, record 11, English, - plasma%2Dkeyhole%20welding%20process
