La construction de ces canalisations [oléoducs ou gazoducs] pose des problèmes difficiles. Les méthodes actuelles utilisent la technique dite de pose à l'avancement. La canalisation est construite par éléments de tube de 12 mètres qui sont soudés bout à bout, à bord de la barge de pose. La partie de la canalisation qui est en cours de pose décrit une courbe située entre le fond marin et la barge de pose. Après chaque soudure, la barge de pose avance de la largeur d'un tube et le profil de la partie suspendue se déplace parallèlement à lui-même. Afin d'assurer la stabilité du profil, la barge de pose exerce une tension sur la canalisation. Par ailleurs, celle-ci est soutenue dans la première partie de la courbe par une poutre articulée, le stinger, solidaire de la barge de pose. 3, record 2, French, - barge%20de%20pose

Glueless wood welding... is very quick. The process consists in applying rapid, alternating mechanical friction to the two wood surfaces to be welded, under some pressure. The equipment for this type of work already exists as it is used to weld thermoplastics joints as used in the car industry. At the very high temperatures attained by mechanical friction(higher than 180°C) the characteristics of the wood lignin and hemicellulose between the wood cell walls change, and start to flow, hence the initial phase of "melting". 3, record 3, English, - rotation%20welding

Where final assembly of body panels takes place with the last joints welded on the body, then I will use T. I. G/argon welding. This method doesn’t use a corrosive flux-especially useful if you cannot gain access behind the panel on final welds-plus the instant heat of a high frequency electric heat source greatly reduces the damage to ash frames when welded on the job which a gas flame can do. 1, record 6, English, - argon%20welding
