Still with Piping Elements such a FCAW, etc.

Now we comes to the inside of piping system, fabrication and installation of pipe definitions and we starting from FCAW (Flux Cored Arc Welding). and here we go for the rest of definitions of PIPING ELEMENTS:

Flux-Cored ArcWelding (FCAW). 
FCAW

An arc welding process that employs a continuous tubular filler metal (consumable) electrode having a core of flux for shielding. Adding shielding may or may not be obtained from an externally supplied gas or gas mixture.

Forge Weld. 
forged weld

A method of manufacture similar to hammer welding.
The term forge welded is applied more particularly to headers and large drums, while hammer welded usually refers to pipe.

Forged and Bored Pipe. 
Pipe produced by boring or trepanning of a forged billet.

Full-Fillet Weld. 
A fillet weld whose size is equal to the thickness of the thinner member joined.

Fusion. 
The melting together of filler and base metal, or of base metal only, which results in coalescence.

Fusion Zone. 
fusion zone

The area of base metal melted as determined on the cross section of a weld. 

with the limitation of the knowledge that I have, I'm really try hard to do the best I can do for this Piping & Fabrication. Thanks and Good Luck!
