How is oxygen used used in welding?
Oxygen is used to produce hot flame which is used in welding purpose
What is the gas for welding?
Oxygen and acetylene for flame welding. Argon for Tig welding CO2 for MIG welding steels Argon for MIG welding aluminum TRI-mix for robotic mig of steels. And helium is added for some overhead welding.
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.
What are the three types of acetylene welding flames?
Mixing Acetylene and Oxygen in the correct proportions produces an extremely hot flame. Using just enough Oxygen so that the Acetylene is almost completely consumed in the flame is called a Neutral Flame. In most welding and cutting applications you would utilize this flame. Reducing the amount of Oxygen produces a Carburizing Flame. It is yellowish and not as hot as a Neutral Flame, but, is used in certain situations. Welding Aluminum is one. Increasing the Oxygen produces an Oxidizing Flame. It produces a flame that is pointed, colder, and louder than a Neutral Flame. It wastes fuel and isn't as efficient as a Neutral Flame.
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 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.

What are facts about welding?
# If you look into the flame you'll go blind, # if you touch the flame it will burn you, # your face is always hotter than your buttocks, # a cigarette always tastes better when lit by a torch flame, # always weld with a full gas tank, # you can get a tan/sunburn from welding, and # welding is fun when you weld random items together.
Is a luminous gas flame hot?
Yes, but not as hot as the blue one.
What is the function of the needle valves on a welding torch?
To adjust gas flow therefore adjusting flame intensity.
What does a yellow flame indicate on a gas furnace?
its hot!
Why the gravity does not attract a burning flame?
Because the flame itself is the hot gas.Every gas(hot) have a tendency to go upward.
