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

En soudage semi-automatique, le dispositif automatique de dévidage du fil est, soit incorporé à la torche, soit indépendant. Le système est plus maniable dans le second cas où le fil-électrode, le courant, le gaz de protection et, éventuellement, l'eau de refroidissement, passent dans une gaine flexible à canaux multiples. Le fil, de plus fort diamètre, est poussé par des galets striés ou à gorge tandis que, dans le premier cas, il est tiré. Le refroidissement se fait par l'air ambiant et la circulation du gaz inerte sur les torches utilisables jusqu'à 250 à 300 A et au-delà, par eau. Dans la buse terminant la torche de soudage, le fil-électrode est entouré d’un jet concentrique de gaz. En appuyant sur la détente(gâchette) du pistolet, on commande le courant, le gaz de protection et l'eau. Le fil-électrode démarre immédiatement après l'amorçage de l'arc. 3, record 2, French, - soudage%20semi%2Dautomatique

Cette technique est dénommée «manuelle» par certains spécialistes qui considèrent, à juste raison, que le terme «semi-automatique» ne reflète pas la dextérité que le soudeur doit nécessairement posséder pour exécuter des assemblages satisfaisants. 3, record 2, French, - soudage%20semi%2Dautomatique
