defect Fehler, Mangel
(Note: An imperfection in a weld that exceeds the acceptance criteria specified in a welding standard.)
deformation Verzug, Verformung
(Note: The change in shape of a weldment due to the heat of welding.)
degreasing Entfetten
(Note: The removal of oil or grease from the surface of material before welding.)
deposition rate Abschmelzleistung, Abschmelzrate
(Note: The weight of weld metal deposited in a unit of time.)
direct current (DC) Gleichstrom (DC)
(Note: Electric current that flows in one direction only.)
distortion Verzug
(Note: The warpage or change in shape of a welded part caused by the stresses of welding.)
downhill welding Fallnahtschweißen
(Note: Welding with the torch or electrode angled so that welding progresses from a higher elevation to a lower elevation.)
ductility Duktilität, Zähigkeit
(Note: The ability of a material to deform plastically without fracturing.)
duplex electrode Doppelelektrode, Zweipunkt~
duplex receptacle Doppelsteckdose
duplex spot welding Doppelpunktschweißen
duty cycle Einschaltdauer
duty cycle of welding Schweißeinschaltdauer
edge preparation Fugenvorbereitung, Nahtvorbereitung
(Note: The contour prepared on the edge of a joint member for welding.)
electrode Elektrode
(Note: A component of the welding circuit through which current is conducted.)
electroslag welding (ESW) Elektroschlackeschweißen (ESS)
(Note: A welding process where the heat is generated by electrical resistance heating of a
molten slag, which then melts the filler metal and base metal. )
friction stir welding (FSW) Rührreibschweißen (RRS)
(Note: A solid-state welding process that generates heat through friction between a rotating tool and the workpiece.)
filler metal Zusatzwerkstoff, Schweißzusatz
(Note: The metal added during welding to form the weld bead.)
fillet weld Kehlnaht
(Note: A weld of approximately triangular cross section joining two surfaces at approximately right angles to each other.)
flux Flussmittel
(Note: A material used to prevent or remove oxides and other undesirable substances from the weld area.)
forehand welding Vorhandschweißen
(Note: A welding technique where the welding torch or electrode holder is angled in the direction of travel.)
gas metal arc welding (GMAW) Metall-Schutzgasschweißen (MSG)
(Note: Also known as MIG/MAG welding, a process where a continuous solid wire electrode is fed through
a welding gun and melted to form the weld.)
gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) Wolfram-Inertgas-Schweißen (WIG)
(Note: Also known as TIG welding, a process that uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode to produce the weld.)
groove weld V-Naht,Stumpfstoßnaht
(Note: A weld made in a groove between two members to be joined.)
heat-affected zone (HAZ) Wärmeeinflusszone (WEZ)
(Note: The portion of the base metal that has not been melted but whose mechanical properties or microstructure
have been altered by the heat of welding.)
hydrogen embrittlement Wasserstoffversprödung
(Note: The reduction in the ductility of a metal due to the absorption of hydrogen.)
impurities Verunreinigungen
(Note: Undesirable elements or compounds in a material.)
inclusions Einschlüsse
(Note: Non-metallic particles entrapped in the weld metal.)
interface area Übergangsfläche, Reibfläche, Übergangszone
joint Füge, Stoß
(Note: The junction of members or the edges of members that are to be joined or have been joined.)
jog (to) einschleichen
keyhole Schlüsselloch
(Note: A hole that is formed at the leading edge of the weld pool in certain welding processes,
allowing full penetration.)
lack of fusion Bindefehler, unzureichende Bindung
(Note: A weld discontinuity caused by the failure of the weld metal to fuse completely with the base metal
or with a preceding weld bead.)
lack of penetration Wurzelfehler, ungenügender Einbrand
(Note: A weld discontinuity caused by the failure of the weld metal to extend into the root of the joint.)
Lap Joint Überlappstoß, Überlappnaht
(Note: A joint between two overlapping members.)
laser beam welding (LBW) Laserstrahlschweißen (LS)
(Note: A welding process that uses the heat generated by a concentrated laser beam.)
