There are two types of gouging. First is with oxy-fuel. A special tip is used in the cutting torch that lets you direct the flame almost parallel to the work. A low pressure setting on the oxygen is directed thru the center of the tip. As the preheat flames melt the surface the operater depresses the cutting lever and the oxygen combines with the molten metal and is blown out creating a gouge as you proceed across the metal. The second requires a special torch and electrodes and is called carbon air arc gouging. High amperage settings allow you to establish an arc between the copper coated carbon electrodes and the metal. This melts the metal while a continous flow of high pressure air blows the molten metal out and a gouge is created as you move across the surface. In both instances the slower you move across the metal the deeper the gouge.

Who invented the welding torch?
John T. Herrera: The Welding Torch Inventor
How do you do orgon welding?
orgon welding is done with orgon torch or filler wire.
In ultrasonic welding what creates the heat required for welding?
What creates the heat is the flame inside the torch
How do you do a hand off?
Use a chainsaw or welding torch.
Why welders use welding torch not the flame of firewood in welding?
Welding involves melting metal. Wood flames don't get hot enough.

Mig tip

Where can a person buy carbons for a vintage twin-carbon arc torch?
Any welding supply carries or can order for you, air arc carbon rods. They are the same that is used for air carbon arc gouging. Carbons are produced in two shapes, flat and round and various sizes. You would want the round ones.
What is acetylene welding?
Acetylene welding is a process in which like metals are joined by heating them to their melting temperature with an oxy-acetylene flame produced by a torch.
What would a brazing torch be used for?
A brazing torch is used to head up metals to a high temperature. This is helpful for welding, molding and construction which uses metals. It can be hand held for a torch.
In MIG welding what are the polarities of the torch and the work-piece and what is the fundamental reason for this?
MIG welding works only with reversed polarity, DC+, + at the torch. The reason is mostly the stability of the arc. Using DC- will result in a very unstable arc with lots of spatter.
