English

Subject field(s)
  • Arc Welding
  • Facilities and Equipment (Metal Joining)
CONT

Synthetic electrode with high recovery(160%)-rutil coating for overlaying and welding high strength steels with each other and with stainess steels. Also recommended for buffer layers before hardfacing. Highly resistant against cracks. Soft fusion, less spatters, self releasing slag.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Soudage à l'arc
  • Équipement pour l'assemblage des métaux
DEF

Électrode enrobée ou fourrée, dont l'âme est en acier non allié mais qui dépose un métal fortement allié; les éléments d'addition sont apportés en totalité par l'intermédiaire de l'enrobage (ou du «fourrage») sous forme de poudre métalliques. [Définition normalisée par l'AFNOR et reproduite avec son autorisation.]

OBS

Ne sont pas considérées comme électrodes synthétiques les électrodes dont l'enrobage apporte des éléments d'addition en faible quantité ou pour compenser les pertes à la fusion.

Surfacing is a term used to describe processes of depositing metal on surfaces of tools and machine parts in order to increase their dimensional sizes or to obtain some specific mechanical property.... The two main categories of surfacing are known as hardfacing and metallizing. Hardfacing is a fusion technique and includes processes which are designed to produce hard, tough overlays to resist severe abrasion, corrosion, and impact loads. Metallizing is a spray coating procedure where finely divided particles of metal are deposited on surfaces where metal has worn away or where it is necessary to build up certain contours. Hardfacing is actually a fusion weld process in which a special hardfacing rod, wire, or electrode is intermixed with the base metal.

Key term(s)
  • metallizing

French

Domaine(s)
  • Soudage (Métal)
DEF

Opération consistant à recouvrir la surface d'une pièce métallique, d'une couche plus ou moins épaisse d'un autre métal ou alliage fondu (rechargement hétérogène), pour augmenter localement la résistance à l'usure, ou pour apporter du métal semblable (rechargement homogène) sur des parties usées ou corrodées.

CONT

Technologie du rechargement. (...) L'opération consiste essentiellement à rapporter, par fusion, sur les parties usées ou susceptibles de s'user, un métal de même nature ou, le plus souvent, de nature différente de celle du métal de base.
