Flux Cored Wire Welding-FCW. FCW welding is closely related to Gas Metal-Arc Welding(GMAW). The flux filled wire is automatically fed through the centre of the gun using the same equipment as when GMA-welding. The shielding gas is supplied through the gun and protects the weld pool from oxidation during welding. The flux inside the wire will protect the weld from the atmosphere since it forms a slag which covers the weld. 2, record 6, English, - flux%2Dcored%20wire%20welding

Le soudage avec fil fourré (flux cored arc welding) s'apparente au soudage MAG dont il se distingue par la nature de l'électrode qu'il met en œuvre. L'électrode se présente sous la forme d'un feuillard enroulé sur lui-même pour contenir un flux solide en vue d'obtenir des conditions de soudage physico-chimiques similaires à celles obtenues en soudage à l'électrode enrobée et une technologie similaire à celle du soudage MAG par la continuité de l'électrode, qui permet un emploi semi-automatique ou automatique. 3, record 6, French, - soudage%20avec%20fil%20fourr%C3%A9

Empty equipment returning from terminal elevator unloads at Thunder Bay, the West Coast or Churchill, is moved to main classification yards at Calgary and Winnipeg(CP Rail) and Edmonton and Winnipeg(Canadian National). From there, trains of empties are directed to distribution yards in the quantities required by the Wheat Board shipping program to make up the various train runs that branch out from these yards. Each distribution yard serves several loading blocks.(...) Generally, the distribution points are where the train and engine crews are based. Depending on volume of traffic handled at these points, the number of crews vary from one to a sizable pool. 1, record 17, English, - distribution%20yard
