How is oxygen used used in welding?
Oxygen is used to produce hot flame which is used in welding purpose
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.
What is the use of oxidizing flame?
An oxidizing flame is used in Braze welding. Not to be confused with Brazing, Braze welding uses bronze filler rod in a similar manner to fusion welding.
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.
What is the uses of acetylene?
The chemical acetylene is used as a fuel some times, and a chemical building block. It is used in Oxyacetylene welding. It has other uses such as hardening steel, and it was once used to light up towns via street lights.
Which is the abundant element on the earth and how is it used for cutting and welding metals?
Hydrogen.When Hydrogen burns with oxygen (from the atmosphere or supplied directly) the heat of the flame is high and is suitable for welding and cutting metals.
Name the most abundant element in the universe - How can it be used forcutting and welding metals?
Hydrogen. When Hydrogen burns with oxygen (from the atmosphere or supplied directly) the heat of the flame is high and is suitable for welding and cutting metals.
Which type of flame is used for high carbon steel?
Most cutting and welding is done with a neutral flame.
Distinguish between an oxidising flame and a carburising flame in oxy- acetylene welding?
Basically, you need to look at the flame itself, if the tip of the nozzle is bluish/white, and long , then the flame is a carburising or reducing flame, it contains a high ratio of acetylene compared to oxygen, and will produce a cooler sooty flame. this can be used to make metals more malleable when working them, but the carbon is not helpful, and cannot be used for welding operations An oxidising flame is more pupleish/white and is far hotter, with more oxygen than acetylene, this flame is used in cutting, but will harden steel, making it brittle. in between the two is the neutral flame where welding operations are carried out.

Which gas burns the hottest when cutting torch is used?
oxygen supports the combustion of the gas that one uses in the welding/cutting torch. Acetylene combined with Oxygen produces the hottest flame.
How is oxygen used used in welding?
Oxygen is used to produce hot flame which is used in welding purpose
For welding high carbon steel which type of flame is used?
carburizing flame is used

What is deactivated gun?
It is a firearm that cannot be fired or used to discharge ammunition. Parts are removed and sealed by welding, or by flame cutting with a torch. Once deactivated, it is no longer legally a gun.
