Overview Of Oxyacetylene Welding And Cutting
Written by Admin on August 17, 2008 – 2:35 am -By Jeff Bowerman Oxyfuel welding is a process that uses heat created by a gas flame to melt the base material. The gas flame created by combustion of oxygen and a fuel. Common fuels are propane, butane, hydrogen and natural gas. Oxygen and acetylene burn at between 5600 and 6300 degrees, it is the hottest of any gas flame and is capable of melting almost any metal. Oxyfuel welding with acetylene is called oxyacetylene welding, or simply gas welding. The Oxyfuel process is versatile, it can be used for cutting, heating, soldering and brazing. It can be less expensive than arc welding and is portable. Oxyfuel welding can be used to weld any thickness if metal. However Oxyfuel welding can be difficult to master, and there are some serious safety... more
