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 1, 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 1, French, - soudage%20avec%20fil%20fourr%C3%A9

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 2, French, - fil%2D%C3%A9lectrode%20fourr%C3%A9%20en%20bobine

Les flux sont des produits destinés à éliminer les oxydes de la surface du joint à réaliser. Ils se présentent sous la forme de poudre sèche, ou de pâte et sont, suivant le cas, soit répandus sur la surface des bords à souder, soit introduits dans le bain au moyen de la baguette d'apport. Ils ne sont pas nécessaires pour le soudage oxyacétylénique des aciers ordinaires (les oxydes de fer étant réduits par la flamme). 4, record 3, French, - flux
