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 1, English, - argon%20metal%20arc%20welding

Soudage avec arc pulsé.-Dans le cas de tôles très minces, la pénétration est difficile à maîtriser et l'échauffement des tôles peut devenir inacceptable. Pour y remédier, on peut employer une méthode TIG dans laquelle l'intensité de l'arc est juste suffisante pour le maintenir, tandis qu'une onde carrée lui est superposée pour provoquer la fusion intermittente des tôles. On obtient ainsi, suivant la fréquence de l'onde de courant pulsé, une suite continue ou discontinue de «noyaux». Les pièces se refroidissent quelque peu entre chaque pulsation. Ce mode de soudage permet de descendre jusqu'à des épaisseurs inférieures à 1/10 mm. 1, record 2, French, - soudage%20avec%20arc%20puls%C3%A9
