German term or phrase: Metallschutzgasschweißen

This term is obviouslz a method of gas welding. How do we translate the complete term. Metallschutz would mean metal protected from corrosion. Seems a little confusing that.

Explanation:
Klaus knows much more about the subject than I do, but I wonder if the term refers to both MIG and MAG welding.
According to the site listed below it would appear it does.

Metallschutzgasschweißen (MIG / MAG)

MIG/MAG Welding
Metal Inert Gas (MIG)/ Metal Active Gas (MAG) welding is the most popular of the arc welding processes, this is mainly because it is easy to use and versatile. With an Inert Gas, such as Argon, MIG welding can be used to weld aluminium. With an Active Gas, such as an Argon/Co2 mixture (typically 5-20% Co2), MAG welding can be used to weld most steels, including stainless.

The process strikes an arc between a continuously fed filler wire and the workpiece, whilst protecting the arc from oxidisation by pouring a shielding gas over the weld pool.
