How do you do a chemical weld?

Oxy-acetylene is concidered a chemical weld.


Why can acetylene torch be used to weld metals together?

Acetylene torches can be used to weld metals together because they have a higher temperature than the metal's melting point.


Whyargon welding is prefer instead of electric welding?

To my knowledge there is no process called Argon Welding. Argon is an inert gas used to protect the weld puddle when using the GTAW (TIG/Heliarc) and GMAW (MIG) process. Almost all welding processes utilize electricity. OAW (Oxy-Acetylene now called Oxy-Fuel) being the exception.


Why is argon used in welding Argon is used to give an inert atmosphere?

Yes it is. Argon is used to flood the area of the weld to keep oxygen away from the weld.


Why argon is used in welding the recycling companys workbenches?

Argon is used as a shielding gas. By flooding the are of the weld with Argon, Oxygen is kept away from the molten metal of the weld.


Why is argon gas used in welding?

Argon is used in welding to prevent oxygen from entering the weld site. Oxygen is basicly bad for the weld and Argon displaces the oxygen which results in a better weld (less heat stress, less air pockets (imperfections in the weld) etc.)


Why do they use argon gas to tig weld?

Argon gas is an inert gas and it shields the weld from any contamination from the out side air. It shields the weld and makes it cleaner and stronger.


Can you use argon and acetylene together?

acetylene is a flammable gas and relies on oxygen to burn. Argon would prevent a flame by displacing oxygen because of it's density in comparison to oxygen.


How do you put acetylene in a sentence with at least 10 words?

Many welders still prefer to mix oxygen and acetylene gases when performing a weld.


Which compressed gases are used for welding?

For example argon or helium for TIG welding. Oxi-fuel welding: oxygen and a combustible gas: acetylene, propane, butane, propylene, gasoline, hydrogen, etc.


Will argon gas help to weld mild steel?

It can be used for that purpose.
