What is the flame commonly used in gas welding?
Oxy-Acetylene. A mixture of oxygen and acetylene. Commerically it is still acetylene, however, its chemical name is 'ethyne'. Its structure is 'H-C///C-H'. NB The symbol '///' repreent a triple bond between the two carbons.
What is the difference between oxy-acet welding and lpg welding?
The Oxy-acetylene flame is much hotter and the preferred combination for the welder especially when welding pipe and plate metal. Somewhat of a rare welding procedure in modern times. Replaced by arc welding. Liquid Propane Gas burns cooler and is preferred by employers as it is cheaper. Not bad results on light gauge material, again takes longer to heat up. -RedSeal Welder
What types of flame are obtained in oxy-acetylene gas welding?
When the correct amount of Oxygen is mixed with the Acetylene a NEUTRAL flame is produced. Less than that amount produces a CARBURIZING flame. Too much Oxygen creates an OXIDIZING flame. Most welding/cutting is done with a NEUTRAL flame but all flame adjustments have their purpose.
How is oxygen used used in welding?
Oxygen is used in welding to increase the burn rate of the fuel gas, such as acetylene, in the oxy-fuel welding process. The oxygen reacts with the fuel gas, creating a high-temperature flame that is used to melt and join metal together. Additionally, oxygen is used in oxy-fuel cutting to aid in the combustion process, resulting in a clean cut through metal.
Which gas welding flame is the hottest?
It's called a Neutral flame. Enough Oxygen is added to the fuel to allow almost complete combustion. The remaing fuel is combined with the surrounding air and burned. This is the best flame for most cutting and welding operations. Too little Oxygen produces a Carburizing flame. It is yellow and produces smoke. A slightly Carburizing flame is used when welding Aluminum. Too much Oxygen produces an Oxidizing flame. It begins to sound louder and the inner flame comes to a point.
Why welders use welding torch not the flame of firewood in welding?
Welding involves melting metal. Wood flames don't get hot enough.

What do you mean oxyacetylene flame?
An oxyacetylene flame is a type of hot, precise flame created by combining oxygen and acetylene gases in a welding torch. This flame is commonly used in metal cutting, welding, and brazing applications due to its high temperature and ability to produce a concentrated heat source.

What are the enviornments of welding?
The environments of welding could be one of the following:- open air- outer space- under waterthese different environments need different energy sources like gas flame, an electric arc, gas flame or laser.
Can you use LPG for ARC welding?
ARC welding uses large amounts of electricity to melt the metal, not a hot flame. So no, LPG cannot be used for ARC welding.

Which welding process required o2 gas?
Oxy-fuel welding is a welding process that requires O2 gas. It uses oxygen and a fuel gas, such as acetylene, to create a high-temperature flame for the welding process. The oxygen supports combustion and helps create the heat needed to weld the materials together.
Why methane is not used for gas welding what are the consequences?
It causes too much oxidation, and it doesn't burn hot enough to weld with anyway. You can braze non-ferrous metals with it; some jewelers like it because you can hook up to the natural gas line coming into the building and go for it.
How do you gas weld?
To gas weld, you'll need a gas welding torch that mixes fuel gas with oxygen to create a flame. The workpiece is heated with the flame until it reaches the melting point, and a filler rod is added to create a bond between the two pieces. Practice and proper safety equipment are essential for successful gas welding.
