Dans les procédés de soudage à l'arc sous atmosphère gazeuse, la protection du bain de fusion et, s'il y a lieu, du métal d'apport au cours de son transfert, est assurée par un courant gazeux entourant l'arc électrique. Ce dernier peut jaillir, dans une atmosphère inerte, entre la pièce et une électrode infusible : c'est le procédé T.I.G. (Tungsten Inert Gaz). Ou bien il jaillit entre la pièce et une électrode [...] fusible [...] : c'est le procédé M.I.G. (Metal Inert Gaz). 1, record 2, French, - soudage%20%C3%A0%20l%26rsquo%3Barc%20sous%20atmosph%C3%A8re%20gazeuse

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

[Welder: Job description.] Welds prototypes and components constructed of a wide range of metals and alloys such as steels, stainless steels, heat resistant alloys, aluminum alloys, copper and brass. Assignments typically require the use of Ultra-High-Vacuum equipment and techniques. The incumbent utilizes equipment and processes such as seam, spot, and manual welders, tungsten and metallic inert gas welders, AC/DC transformer and DC generator welders, motorized welding positioners, and laser welders; and selects electrodes and filler and brazing alloys. 1, record 4, English, - tungsten%20inert%20gas%20welder
