Listview for the terms

MAG-welding: Metal active gas welding (MAG welding) is the most important welding process at MODERSOHN and is used for most of the fastening parts in the building industry.
Manufacturer qualification class E: In the field of joining and welding technology, valid proof of suitability which must be regularly renewed in the company by external inspectors (most of them by employees of a welding training and testing institute [SLV]).
Masonry connection: It is important that masonry walls are connected to each other in a non-positive way, e.g. when inner walls of masonry meet load-bearing outer walls, and then even very different types of masonry meet.
Masonry reinforcement: Masonry reinforcement is understood to be the stabilisation of the masonry wall (disc) in the hardened mortar composite, by adding profiled force-absorbing material in the masonry joints.
Masonry support: The term masonry support refers to the fixing of a wide variety of masonry blocks, with supporting and retaining anchors in the double-shell wall structure of the facade.
Mn (manganese): Increases tensile strength, austenitizing agent, Ni replacement (danger of manganese sulphides, less corrosion resistance in acidic environment).
Mo (molybdenum): Increases corrosion resistance, deteriorates toughness Duplex steel → reduces temperature resistance → Sigma phase (650 - 850°C).
Mortar anchor: Mortar anchor is another term for the bonded anchors, which is mainly used for load-bearing and retaining anchors in the natural stone fixing sector.
MOSOTherm: MOSOTherm is an insulation system for the reduction of thermal bridges in the area of facade fixing systems.
Mounting systems: General generic term for all supports and properties that are designed according to a basic principle to connect building structures with each other. The fastening system does not always have to be a separate component.
Mounting systems made of stainless steel: Designation for all stainless steel fastening components which, according to a planned principle, enable the assembly of the structure or plant at the project site (e.g. construction site).
