[Flame gouging] is particularly useful for removing welds from metal for demolition or rewelding. The process is also used to remove surplus metal. In order to successfully gouge, gouging nozzles are required... These nozzles are designed so the cutting oxygen has a much lower velocity than with cutting nozzles. Hence the oxygen orifice is much larger in a gouging nozzle than in a cutting nozzle. 3, record 1, English, - gouging%20nozzle

Record number: 6, Textual support number: 1 CONT
During the last 40 years, rotary drilling has become the preferred method for penetrating underground formations... a special tool-the drill bit-rotates while bearing down on the bottom of the well, thus gouging and chipping its way downward... The drill bit is connected to the surface equipment through a drill pipe, a heavy-walled tubing through which the drilling mud is fed to the bottom of the bore hole. In most cases, the drill pipe also transmits the rotation motion from a turntable at the surface to the bit at the bottom of the hole. 3, record 6, English, - rotary%20drilling

Lorsque les prospecteurs s'attaquèrent à des terrains plus difficiles, ils durent s'y adapter en créant le procédé de forage rotary. [...] La méthode consiste à utiliser des trépans à molettes dentées ou des trépans diamantés, sur lesquels on appuie et que l'on fait tourner. L'action combinée du poids et de la rotation permet aux dents des trépans à molettes d'écailler la roche ou aux trépans diamantés de strier et détruire celle-ci. La rotation du trépan est obtenue en faisant tourner l'ensemble des tiges de forage [...] qui relient le trépan à la surface. 7, record 6, French, - forage%20rotary

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.
