It depends on what welding process is being used and what type of metal is being welded. When Oxy-Fuel Welding, Acetylene is the most popular. MAPP gas and Propane are also used. With the GMAW (MIG) process Argon, CO2 and Oxygen gasses, in mixtures or alone, are used. GTAW (TIG) gasses are almost always Argon and/or Helium. This is not all inclusive as new processes are being developed every day. Check with your welding material supplier for relevant info.

What is the gas used in welding?
Normally, acetylene, which is a colorless gas, C2 H2, that smells like ether
Is acetylene a solution?
The gas that is used for welding is a pure hydrocarbon compound (C2H2).
How is oxygen used for gas welding?
Oxygen is used as active gas during MIG welding, spray transfer. It increases penetration and travel speeds. It is used only is small amounts though ususally 1%-5%. +++ The question mentioned "gas" welding, not any form of electric-arc process, and in oxy-acetylene and oxy-hydrogen welding the oxygen is necessary to raise the fuel-burning temperature to above the melting-point of steel.
