The second type of plasma jet torch is called the nontransferred arc torch. This torch extends the arc from the electrode, or the cathode, to the end of the nozzle. The nozzle acts as the anode. This type of plasma jet is completely independent of the workpiece, with the power supply contained within the equipment. 1, record 1, English, - nontransferred%20arc

Radiant mulch : the answer to greenhouse heating.... An example is given of 5400 m² melons grown in polyethylene-clad tunnels, 33% of the ground area being covered by radiant mulch consisting of 2 sheets of 400 mu m gauge flexible PVC welded together by high frequency welding. The heated water passes through the mulch and acts as an energy reserve in addition to the solar energy entering the greenhouse. 2, record 2, English, - radiant%20mulch

Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Pulsed spray welding is a variation of the MIG welding process that is capable of all-position welding at higher energy levels than short circuiting arc welding. The power source provides two current levels; a steady "background" level, which is too low to produce spray transfer; and a "pulsed peak" current, which is superimposed upon the background current at a regulated interval. The pulse peak is well above the transition current, and usually one drop is transferred during each pulse. The combination of the two levels of current produces a steady arc with axial spray transfer at effective welding currents below those required for conventional spray arc welding. Because the heat input is lower, this variation in operation is capable of welding thinner sections than are practical with the conventional spray transfer. 3, record 4, English, - pulsed%20spray%20welding

Inertia welding(friction welding) has become a viable production welding method for parts having radial symmetry such as compressor drums. In this process, the metal preparation procedures are the same as for other techniques. The essence of the method is to convert rotational kinetic energy into heat to bring about controlled degrees of fusion and extrusion. Inertia welding can be done in air. 5, record 6, English, - Inertia%20welding

Intertia friction welding. Two workpiece parts to be joined are clamped rigidly in a sturdy fixed unit usually called the tailstock fixture and a rotating chuck assembly or collet drive. The spindle assembly, which includes one of the workpieces and any required flywheels, is rapidly accelerated to a pre-calculated speed, storing the energy required for welding. The spindle is disconnected from the drive source and begins to freewheel. At the same time, the ram assembly moves the non-rotating part axially to force both workpieces together, also a predetermined calculated(lbs.) thrust load. While the workpieces are thrust tightly together, friction between the interfaces convert kinetic energy stored in the rotating spindle and flywheel assemblies into heat at the interface, and finally into mechanical working of the plastic metals. 3, record 6, English, - Inertia%20welding

On a coutume de distinguer deux modes de soudage selon la façon dont on exécute la friction : - le soudage par friction pilotée (FP) ou encore par entraînement direct ou conventionnel ( en anglais, continuous drive); - le soudage par friction inertielle (FI) ou encore par accumulation d'énergie (en anglais, Inertia welding, Inertia étant une marque de fabrique déposée par son inventeur). Ils donnent lieu à des assemblages identiques mais ont en pratique des domaines d'application distincts. 1, record 6, French, - soudage%20par%20friction%20inertielle
