A process for the continuous production of longitudinally welded metal tubes is described, wherein a metal strip (1) is drawn from a strip supply and gradually shaped into a slit tube in a shaping station (2), the slit tube is welded in a welding system (4) along the edges of the strip, and the welded tube (6) is extracted by an extraction device (5). The welding system (4) is a protective gas arc welding system with several electrodes supplied by separate sources (4c, 4d) of welding current. The electrodes are arranged in succession in the direction of production. The welding system (4) has two welding devices (4a, 4b), whose electrode tips are directed at a common welding point. Only one of the welding devices (4a, 4b) is in operation at any given time, while the other welding device is in a standby position. When an electrode change becomes necessary, the arc of the welding device in the standby position is first struck by means of an auxiliary arc. The welding current intensity of the welding device presently in operation is then reduced, while the welding current intensity of the welding device in the standby position is simultaneously increased.

La présente divulgation décrit la production continue de tubes métalliques à soudage longitudinal. Un ruban métallique (1) est étiré à partir d'un approvisionnement de rubans, et il prend progressivement la forme d'un tube fendu dans un poste de façonnage (2). Le tube fendu est soudé dans un dispositif de soudage (4) le long du ruban, et le tube soudé (6) est extrait par un extracteur (5). Le dispositif de soudage (4) est un dispositif de soudage à l'arc sous gaz protecteur avec plusieurs électrodes alimentées par des sources distinctes (4c, 4d) du courant de soudage. Ces électrodes sont disposées successivement dans le sens de la chaîne de production. Le dispositif de soudage (4) comprend deux ensembles de soudage (4a, 4b), dont les pointes des électrodes sont orientées vers un point de soudage commun. Seulement un des ensembles de soudage (4a, 4b) fonctionne sans arrêt, tandis que l'autre ensemble de soudage est en attente. Lorsqu'il est nécessaire de changer d'électrode, l'arc de l'ensemble de soudage en attente est d'abord frappé au moyen d'un arc auxiliaire. L'intensité du courant de soudage de l'ensemble de soudage en cours de fonctionnement est alors réduite, tandis que l'intensité du courant de soudage de l'ensemble de soudage en attente augmente simultanément.
