Tech/Engineering - Transport / Transportation / Shipping | | Dutch term or phrase: gutser | Does anyone have a correct translation for the term "gutser". It is a job related to the naval/shipbuilding world.
Thanks much,

| Grading comment thanks for this answer. I chose it because the Dutch text also mentioned the term 'lasser' which I translated as welder and 'slijper' which I translated as grinder. Thanks much for the help.

Explanation:
As I understand it, gouging is one of several techniques that a welder needs to master, so they may be talking of "gutsers" and they may need "gutsers" but the people doing this kind of work most likely will be welders.
First published in 1973, the new standard provides welders with different plasma arc cutting and gouging techniques

This corporate standard applies to any work location where welding is required within a SCL operated and / or maintained site or any situation in which an SCL employee or contractor is required to undertake specific welding tasks. It is not the intent of this corporate standard to address the specifics of the many related welding, brazing, cutting and gouging techniques that are included within the scope of welding, but rather address the common hazards associated with performance of welding.

What is "gutsen" (gouging)?
Plasma arc gouging is one of four common gouging methods. The others are mechanical, oxyfuel, and air carbon arc gouging.
Mechanical Gouging. Mechanical gouging methods—grinding, hand milling, routing, and chipping—are widely used. These methods are suitable for metalworking shops, but typically they are slow and often loud.
Oxyfuel Gouging. Oxyfuel gouging is a common thermal or chemical method and a variation of oxyfuel welding and cutting. Steel is heated to its ignition temperature with fuel gas and then rapidly combusted and removed from the surface by a jet of oxygen gas.
Oxyfuel gouging offers low noise levels, portability, and higher speed when compared to mechanical methods. It can lack precise control over gouge quality and slower speed when compared to carbon arc gouging. Also, because the process relies on combustion, its use is limited to carbon steels.
Air Carbon Arc Gouging. In the air carbon arc process, an electric arc is generated between the tip of a carbon electrode and the metal workpiece. A jet of air is directed around the tip to remove molten metal from the area, forming a groove.
Air carbon arc gouging can be used on mild steel, cast iron, nickel alloys, copper, and aluminum. It's a process that can be easy to learn and has a high metal removal rate. It also can be a noisy process that produces excessive smoke and fumes. Gouge quality can be hard to control, and carbon deposits, or inclusions, may be added to the base metal.
Plasma Arc Gouging. With practice, an operator can achieve a smooth, clean, consistent groove with a plasma gouging arc. This process is relatively quiet and smoke-free. It can be used on mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and almost any ferrous or nonferrous alloy. Different gases can help optimize gouge quality and surface conditions.
