Gas metal-arc welding. Inert-gas-shielded metal-arc welding with consumable, continuous electrodes (called GMAW for gas metal-arc welding) requires no flux and produces welds without a slag cover. The arc is in an atmosphere of argon or helium ... Inert-gas shielding is particularly advantageous in welding reactive metals, such as titanium ... and in welding metals, such as aluminium and stainless steel, which are susceptible to porosity. 2, record 2, English, - argon%20metal%20arc%20welding

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 3, French, - soudage%20MIG
