réparation par surcoulée
German:
Überfangguss
Literally “cast-on.” Generally used in reference to an ancient process. In German, the term describes everything related to casting-on: it designates indiscriminately a cast-on repair or a cast-on joint. Überfanggussreparatur might be invented to avoid confusion.
