ELECTRODE
Adj. reference, (non) consumable, (saturated) calomel
A standard three electrode set up was used for the PCM tests, consisting of a working (test) electrode, platinized titanium counter electrode and a reference electrode. (W 57) (1)
Reference electrode = Eletrodo referencial
GTA welding with active fluxes – gas Tungsten Arc (GTA) welding is a widely used welding process by which an arc is struck between a non-consumable electrode and the work-piece creating the heat to make the joint. (W 406) (2)
(Non) consumable electrode = Eletrodo (não) consumível
The reference electrode was a saturated calomel electrode (SCE), located outside the vessel, connected to the vessel electrolyte by a salt bridge. The auxiliary electrode was a piece of platinum wire. (W 155) (3)

EMBRITTLEMENT
Adj. hydrogen, temper, strain-ageing
….If a crack exists in the material subjected to service loading, hydrogen will accumulate in the plastic zone at the crack tip due to locally enhanced solubility, thus enhancing the hydrogen embrittlement. (W 19) (1)
Hydrogen embrittlement = Fragilidade devido à ação do hidrogênio
Generations of hydro-processing technology have lead to advances in reactor design and fabrication: 1960s – Migration from cold wall to hot-wall Cr-Mo alloys.1970s – Toughness requirements introduced for temper embrittlement. 1980s – Steel composition control reduces temper embrittlement susceptibility. 1990s – Acute composition controls try to eliminate temper embrittlement. (W 308) (2)
Temper embrittlement = Fragilidade devido à temperagem
Examination of the fracture faces revealed that the failure initiated at a partially repaired crack in a vertical weld in the bottom shell course. The surfaces of the crack were blackened indicating that the crack had gone through a heating cycle due to a nearby welding operation. Subsequent studies indicated that the probable cause of failure was the presence of very low toughness material in the region of the initiating defects. These regions of low toughness would have resulted from dynamic strain-ageing embrittlement at the tip of the flaws during repair welding (or subsequent heat cycling). (Welding 190) (3)

ENERGY
Adj. (low-high)arc, sound, impact
The energy consumption from the arc can be reduced if the wire can be fed into the arc region at a higher temperature. That means the arc energy can be used elsewhere, for example for increasing the parent metal melting. (W 81) (1)
Arc energy = Energia de arco
The fundamental theory underlying the algorithms of focal law calculators to focus the sound energy from an array is to ensure that the wave fronts from each element arrive at the target position at the same time (assuming velocity is constant) and in the correct phase to constructively generate a maximum in sound pressure. (W 102) (2)
Sound energy = Energia sonora
The figures compare experimental and simulated results for the load/displacement and load/local strain relationships. The simulated stiffness values of the panels are well predicted, along with the failure loads, which are all within 10% of the average experimental results for each impact energy. (W 11) (3)

ENVIRONMENT
Adj. sour, hydrogen, corrosive
Hydrogen absorbed from sour environments adversely affects the fracture toughness of steel. (W 19) (1)
Sour environment = Ambiente com acidez
To develop hydrogen energy, it is important to understand the effects of hydrogen on mechanical properties in all applications – production, transportation, storage and fuel cells. Although a considerable amount of work has been carried out on hydrogen related embrittlement, there is comparatively less work on the effect of a hydrogen environment on fatigue performance of steels. (W 94) (2)
Hydrogen environment = Ambiente com hidrogênio
Corrosion fatigue qualification testing is usually a two-stage process involving full-scale resonance fatigue testing to demonstrate the required performance in air, and strip fatigue testing both in air and in a corrosive environment to determine a fatigue life reduction factor that is then applied to the base design curve.

EQUIPMENT
Adj. welding, pressure, processing
Joint tracking systems increase the robustness of hybrid welding to joint placement, and are already used in some industrial applications. Vision-based tracking sensors can also relay details of joint fit-up in real time to the welding equipment, enabling adaptive control of the process. (W 77) (1)
Welding equipment = Equipamento de solda
For pressure equipment containing products that do not exhibit any degradation mechanisms, a Risk Based Inspection (RBI) assessment may determine that conditions are expected to be stable and benign for the foreseeable future. (W 111) (2)

EVALUATION
Adj. (non) destructive, fatigue, terrain
TWI has completed a three-year EU funded project on the development and validation of a non-destructive evaluation (NDE) system for testing welded joints in plastics pipes in response to the lack of commercially available equipment for inspecting these welds. The research will lead to a longer average service life of plastics pipe systems and lower leakage rates, resulting in reduced risk of serious accidents and pollution, which in turn will bring significant economic benefits, as more widespread use of these materials occurs. It will also make it easier for plastic pipes to replace metals in safety critical applications, such as nuclear power stations. (Welding 502) (1)
Non-destructive evaluation = Avaliação não-destrutiva
This paper presents a review of methods and corresponding Codes and Standards for the fatigue assessment of welded aluminium alloy structures. Methods for the fatigue evaluation of welded aluminium structures are assessed from the viewpoints of original design and estimation of the residual life of existing structures. (W 341) (2)
Fatigue evaluation = Avaliação de fadiga
Due to the large expenditures associated with laying new land pipelines, vigorous efforts [1] are being made to identify measures for reducing costs. Opportunities for cost saving may be available in several areas, including terrain evaluation, pipeline design, material properties, procurement of material and services, construction and operation.

EXPERIMENTS
Adj. welding, fsw, laser-cutting
Results of initial TIG welding experiments by varying the welding current and by keeping the other welding parameters constant showed that the weld width and depth increased with increasing the welding current. A corresponding decrease in the weld height was also observed. (W 81) (1)
Welding experiments = Experimentos de soldagem
..The behaviour of material round the FSW tool is becoming clearer to welding engineers as a variation of tools and materials are being utilised for FSW experiments. There is increasing evidence from unpublished results at TWI that the sticking condition is related to the tool profile, traversing speed and rotational speed. It is therefore difficult to make universal assumptions for the material behaviour in the FSW process. (W 35) (2)
FSW experiments = Experiemntos FSW
The first gas assisted laser-cutting experiments – although laser materials processing is still often regarded as a ‘new’ technology, it might come as a surprise to some, to learn that the first gas assisted laser cutting was performed as long ago as May 1967. These first experiments probably mark the start of laser materials processing as we know it today. (W 181) (3)

Adj. crack, life, electrode
BS 7448-4 ‘Fracture mechanics toughness tests – Part 4: method for determination of fracture resistance curves and initiation values for stable crack extension in metallic materials’. British Standards Institution, 1997. (W 17) (1)
Crack extension = Extensão da rachadura
Since the condensate flash vessel contains design features that are typical for many pressure vessels it enables a comparison of the fatigue lives for different features to be made.
There is an increasing need to justify life extension beyond the specified design life of pressure vessels designed to older codes and standards within process plant on offshore installations. (W 23) (2)
Life extension = Extensão da vida útil
In most cases of overlaying, it is necessary to control the dilution within close limits as an uneven chemistry can reduce the service life. There are a number of variables which affect dilution such as the welding current, the arc voltage, current polarity, electrode diameter, electrode extension, weld-bead separation, welding speed, electrode grinding angle, welding position, shielding gas composition, etc. (W 81) (3)
