Record 1 2017-06-12

English

Subject field(s)
  • Welding and Soldering (Metals)
DEF

The pool of liquid metal formed during fusion welding.

CONT

The welding wire is fed into the arc, or into the molten pool formed on the work.

OBS

molten pool; weld puddle : terms standardized by the British Standards Institution and by the Standards Association of Australia; terms officially approved by the Lexicon Project Committee(New Brunswick).

Key term(s)
  • welding pool
  • welding puddle

French

Domaine(s)
  • Soudage (Métal)
CONT

Comme dans le soudage avec électrode enrobée, ce laitier recouvre le bain de fusion qu'il protège.

CONT

Soudage par fusion. Il regroupe tous les procédés de soudage comportant une fusion localisée, exécutée avec ou sans utilisation de produit d'apport et sans intervention de pression. On en distingue plusieurs familles. [...] soudage au gaz, [...] soudage à l'arc, [...] soudage avec électrode enrobée, [...] Dans le soudage sous protection gazeuse avec fil fusible, l'arc et le bain de fusion sont protégés par un gaz inerte (hélium ou argon dans le procédé MIG [Metal Inert Gas]) ou un mélange gazeux actif (procédé MAG [Metal Active Gas]).

OBS

bain de fusion : terme uniformisé par le Comité du projet de lexiques (Nouveau-Brunswick).

Record 2 2011-05-25

English

Subject field(s)
  • Trade Names
  • Applications of Automation
CONT

[A vision system that uses lidar, a light-emitting form of radar, ] is the key element in GE's new WeldVision System. WeldVision constantly monitors a weld puddle, making adjustments as a welding machine moves along a joint. It actively controls the arc-welding process by data obtained visually from the weld puddle, essentially as a human controls it.(...)

OBS

A trademark of General Electric.

Key term(s)
  • WeldVision
  • WeldVision System

French

Domaine(s)
  • Appellations commerciales
  • Automatisation et applications
OBS

WeldVision SystemMC : Marque de commerce de General Electric.

Key term(s)
  • WeldVision

Record 3 1999-01-13

English

Subject field(s)
  • Welding and Soldering (Metals)
  • Welding - Various Processes
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.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Soudage (Métal)
  • Procédés de soudage divers
OBS

Sigle signifiant : tungstène inerte gaz. Procédé de soudage en atmosphère inerte avec électrode réfractaire.

Key term(s)
  • T.I.G.

Record 4 1978-09-22

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.
