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 6, English, - metal%20burning

Record number: 8, Textual support number: 1 CONT
The term "constant current" is obtained from the intersection point of the volt ampere curve and the welding arc voltage. If the welder maintains a constant arc length, the welding current will remain the same. Should the welder raise or lower the torch height, a new voltage intersection line is obtained. This movement of the torch raises or lowers the welding power supply output current. Notice that the curve is not straight but drooping. Because of this characteristic, the machines may also be called "droopers". 1, record 8, English, - drooper

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.

atomic hydrogen welding. A method of welding in which hydrogen gas is passed through an arc between two tungsten electrodes. The arc breaks down the molecules to form atomic hydrogen. The recombination of the atoms to form molecules and the combustion of the molecular hydrogen in atmospheric oxygen produce a flame temperature of 4000-5000 ° C. 1, record 10, English, - atomic%20hydrogen

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. 2, record 11, French, - proc%C3%A9d%C3%A9%20T%2EI%2EG%2E%20en%20courant%20continu
