Spanish term or phrase: desoldado
In connection with a crane accident on a ship, in the legend to a photograph:

Cilindro de apertura de la tapa escotilla, sección de proa de la bodega No. 4 se encontraba fuera de uso y totalmente desoldado de la tapa respectiva.

I wonder whether "detached" would be the correct term here, as "desoldered" doesn't sound quite right. Any ideas anyone?

unwelded


Explanation:
Unwelded is used to mean that it has never been welded to the corresponding part or that it has not been made by welding two parts together. If it has become detached for whatever reason, then I would use detached.

neutral  cranesfreak: unwelded = no soldado. "desoldado" significa que estuvo soldado hasta que se desoldó.

neutral  cranesfreak: Hi liz. I understand your point and you are close to the target. But the steel lid was welded NOT soldered. Wires are soldered and steel plates are welded. Regards :)
