Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The molten weld pool is shielded by this slag which moves along the full cross section of the joint as welding progresses. The process is initiated by an arc which heats the slag. The arc is then extinguished and the conductive slag is maintained in a molten condition by its resistance to electric current passing between the electrode and the work. 4, record 1, English, - electroslag%20welding

In 1994, Canada and the City of Montreal were selected by the International Vocational Training Organization(IVTO) to host the 35th World Skills Competition in 1999. The event was held between November 11-14 at the Olympic Stadium. It involved 1, 800 participants(candidates, experts, delegates, officials and observers) from 34 countries in 40 trade areas. A separate contest area was assembled for each discipline. Inside the contest area, one workstation will be set up for each candidate. In total, 600 workstations were set up inside the Olympic Stadium in over 40 different skilled areas. The stadium was transformed into a multidisciplinary plant containing machine centres, carpenter ships, a computer section, kitchens, a construction site, welding workstations and an automobile section. 1, record 3, English, - 35th%20World%20Skills%20Competition

Une zone distincte a été préparée pour chaque discipline. Dans chaque zone de compétition, un poste de travail a été organisé pour chaque candidat. Au total, 600 postes seront montés dans le Stade olympique, dans plus de 40 zones spécialisées. Le stade a ainsi été transformé en une usine multidisciplinaire comptant des centres d'usinage, des ateliers de menuiserie, un service d'informatique, des cuisines, un chantier de construction, des stations de soudure et un atelier pour les automobiles. 1, record 3, French, - 35e%20Mondial%20des%20m%C3%A9tiers

Soudage à l'arc tournant. [...] L'objet principal du soudage à l'arc tournant est de fournir un moyen de soudage bout à bout de sections tubulaires avec un certain nombre d'avantages par rapport au soudage par étincelage [...] Un arc est amorcé entre deux tubes à souder bout à bout, placés en regard, sur une machine appropriée, à une distance de l'ordre du millimètre et connectés chacun à l'une des polarités d'un générateur de soudage à l'arc classique MAG. La présence de deux bobines d'excitation parcourues par le courant d'arc fait apparaître dans l'interface un champ magnétique transversal sous l'action duquel l'arc se déplace. Les pôles cathodique et anodique formés localement sur les tubes et portés à la température souhaitée se déplacent également avec l'arc sur tout le pourtour. L'arc se met à tourner à grande vitesse et ses pôles forment par suite deux sources de chaleur portant les extrémités des tubes à la température de forgeage (maintien) où l'une des pièces est appliquée sur l'autre pour obtenir leur liaison. 1, record 4, French, - soudage%20%C3%A0%20l%27arc%20tournant

All the thin tubes, starting at about 1. 0 mm, are usually supplied butted, which means only the central section is actually that thin, while the ends, or butts, have a greater wall thickness. This increase in wall thickness serves to avoid damage done by the heating and cooling process during welding or brazing of the frame.... 1, record 5, English, - double%2Dbutted%20tubing
