Gas metal arc welding

Excellent lead image in a featured article. It is striking and impressive, adding significantly to welding. This image effectively illustrates gas metal arc welding.

  • Nominate and support. Sango123 16:25, Jun 12, 2005 (UTC)
  • Support, but note that when I first found this picture, I thought it was shielded metal arc welding (hence the "SMAW" in the title), but after looking at it more, I'm pretty sure that it's gas metal arc welding. --Spangineer (háblame) 01:40, Jun 13, 2005 (UTC)

  • Comment - if you view the hi-res version, you see a refelction of a sign or something on the face shield saying "satellite". Wouldn't that normally be a mirror image? Something's not right - Ian ≡ talk 07:30, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • It's inside the mask – it's the mechanism that automatically darkens the face shield when the welding arc is struck. Take a look at this vendor site to see the little box a bit more clearly. Optrel Satellite is the brand name/manufacturer of the mask. --Spangineer (háblame) 11:09, Jun 22, 2005 (UTC)
