Les principaux procédés de soudage à l'arc sont : le soudage avec électrode enrobée [...]; le soudage sous flux en poudre [...]; le soudage sous protection gazeuse avec fil fusible, dans lequel l'arc et le bain de fusion sont protégés de l'atmosphère ambiante par un gaz provenant d'une source extérieure. Selon la nature de ce gaz, on distingue le soudage MIG (de l'anglais Metal Inert Gas), dans lequel la protection est assurée par un gaz inerte (argon ou hélium), et le soudage MAG (de l'anglais Metal Active Gas), dans lequel la protection est assurée par un gaz ou un mélange gazeux actif, contenant généralement du CO2. Dans les deux cas, l'électrode peut être soit un fil nu massif, soit un fil tubulaire fourré de flux. 7, record 4, French, - soudage%20MIG

The plasma-keyhole method is a welding process where the gas flow is restricted through a reduction of the gas orifice. This increases the gas velocity and the arc temperature. Severe constriction of the gas flow produces a cutting arc, which is utilised in plasma arc cutting (PAC). The plasma arc blows a hole through the joint of the plate. Behind the hole the molten metal flows together filling the hole, due to the gravity forces, surface tension and the gas pressure from the shielding gas. 1, record 5, English, - plasma%2Dkeyhole%20welding%20process
