English

Subject field(s)
  • Welding - Various Processes
DEF

A welding technique in which the arc force or gun is directed opposite to the progress of welding.

OBS

The term backhand technique is sometimes referred to as the "pull gun technique" in GMAW (gas metal arc welding) and in FCAW (flux-cored arc welding).

OBS

In this method, the torch precedes the welding rod,... the torch is held at approximately a 45 degree angle from the vertical away from the direction of welding, with the flame directed at the molten puddle. The welding rod is between the flame and the molten puddle. This position requires less transverse motion than is used in forehand welding.

OBS

backhand welding; pull gun technique: terms standardized by the American Welding Society (AWS).

OBS

backhand welding: term officially approved by the Lexicon Project Committee (New Brunswick).

Domaine(s)
  • Procédés de soudage divers
CONT

Soudage à droite. Cette méthode s'applique au soudage de tôles plus épaisses [...] et chanfreinées. Le chalumeau est toujours animé d'un mouvement rectiligne mais la baguette reste plongée dans le bain tout en étant animée d'un mouvement de va-et-vient d'un bord à l'autre.

OBS

soudage en arrière; soudage à droite : termes uniformisés par le Comité du projet de lexiques (Nouveau-Brunswick).

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.(...)

A trademark of General Electric.

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.

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.
