This is a document about TIG welding and I am not sure how to translate the phrase "Soldadura al arco bajo atmósfera inerte con electrodo refractario", which is a general description of TIG welding. Thanks.

neutral  bigedsenior: the purge gas is Argon, not N2 which could form surface nitrides under high temperature. Helium could be used, but Argon is more suitable because, being heavier, it doesn't dissipate as rapidly.
