How is oxygen used for gas welding?
Oxygen is used as active gas during MIG welding, spray transfer. It increases penetration and travel speeds. It is used only is small amounts though ususally 1%-5%. +++ The question mentioned "gas" welding, not any form of electric-arc process, and in oxy-acetylene and oxy-hydrogen welding the oxygen is necessary to raise the fuel-burning temperature to above the melting-point of steel.
What is the difference between medical oxygen and welding oxygen?
Medical oxy is very pure, while welding oxy can contain significant amount of just about anything. A flame isn't as particular about what it's being fed with as a pair of lungs are. There is no difference in the gas, they both come out of the same tap. Gas suppliers are too cheap to have 2 separate containers for Oxygen so everything they sell is USP( that means it is safe for consumption). They 1 difference is a welding tank is not evacuated between refills and a medical tank is.
