Soudage avec fil fourré. Les fils fourrés sont des fils faits d'un tube ou d'un feuillard replié comportant une certaine quantité de flux [...] et étirés sous forme de fil cylindrique. [Ils] sont apparus à diverses époques du développement du soudage, d'abord en baguettes concurrençant l'électrode enrobée pour soudage manuel, ensuite en fil-électrode pour machine automatique à arc ordinaire avant apparition du soudage sous flux. 2, record 1, French, - fil%2D%C3%A9lectrode%20fourr%C3%A9%20en%20bobine

The electrode features high impact, heat and corrosion resistance in situations where cracking must be avoided. It produces smooth, dense and porosity-free deposits and features a typical tensile strength of 110,000 psi. Typical applications include joining and coating all steels, leaf and coil springs, vanadium-moly spring steels, mild and medium carbon steels and stainless steels, rebuilding chemical agitator blades and build-up on shafts. 3, record 2, English, - welding%20electrode

L'électrode actuelle se présente sous la forme d'un fil métallique ou âme, souvent en acier doux, recouvert d'un enrobage plus ou moins épais appliqué par extrusion. Les composants de cet enrobage se déposent, à l'exception d'une faible partie volatilisée ou projetée lors de l'opération, sur le bain de fusion où ils surnagent, puis se solidifient en donnant un dépôt plus ou moins facilement détachable, appelé laitier. Lorsqu'il n'est pas auto-détachant, le laitier s'élimine ensuite au moyen d'un piqueur, sorte de manteau muni, d'un côté, d'un tranchant et, de l'autre, d'une pointe. Le piquage du laitier est suivi d'un brossage à la brosse métallique. 2, record 2, French, - %C3%A9lectrode%20de%20soudage
