Primarily when brazing cast iron. Nickel rods are available to arc weld cast iron but in most cases it has to be preheated and it takes experience to prevent cracking. Using oxy-acet provides a means to preheat, maintain the temperature, and braze. Welding, brazing, and silver soldering with oxy-acet have become lost arts. Most common metals can be welded with this process including steel and aluminum.

When discovered welding?
Arc and oxy acetylene welding were both discovered around 1900. Plus or minus 5 years or so, but it's kind of fuzzy...
Which is hotter oxy and acetylene welding or MIG welding?
This is something of a trick question... Every metal has its own melting point that must be reached to weld the material. The difference between Oxy-ace and Mig is the Heat Effected Zone. This is the blue and purple area around your weld in which the Microstructure and properties of your base material change. Oxy-Ace will have a much wider HAZ.
What type of welding process is used to join dissimilar metal?
friction welding can be used to join dissimilar metal. Also depending on the metals most arc welding processes and oxy-fuel can used. It's just a matter of using the correct filler material or electrode.
What kind of welding machine do you use to weld your muffler?
I would use a wire feed MIG, or a oxy-fuel torch. If arc welding, use a low power. It's really easy to burn through exhaust pipes and mufflers.
What are aluminum arc brazing electrodes used for?
They are used for repairing things made of aluminum. What is needed is a heat source from gas such as propane gas, mapp gas or oxy-acetylene gas. This method makes for stronger welds than conventional Tig welding. It works on aluminum and cast aluminum, pot metal, copper, magnesium and white or porous metals. One of the main benefits of using aluminum arc brazing is that it can be used to weld and repair metal structures and things that are difficult to work on with more conventional welding methods. This includes corroded parts and also areas that have come in contact with oil and fat that make the area difficult to work on using the older methods of aluminum welding rods. The weld produced is stronger and the work quicker using aluminum arc brazing.

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.
Why is acetylene rather than butane gas used for welding?
You can weld with acetylene, which burns very well; argon is inert and doesn't burn at all, so it is useless for welding.
Can LPG be used as alternative to oxy-acetelene?
LPG is liquid petroleum gas and oxy-acetylene is oxy fuel welding. The LPG can be used as an alternative to oxy-acetylene and is cheaper and can be purchased in bulk. The oxy-acetylene is best used when making shorter, thinner, and faster cuttings.
Which came first MIG TIG or oxy accedoline welding?
Oxy-acetylene (notice the spelling) came first.
What are two gases used in oxy-acetylene welding?
You answered your own question. Oxygen and Acetylene. Other mixes are now used in place of Acetylene so the process is now called Oxy-Fuel.

How does calcium carbide mixed with water help people?
Creates Acetylene which is used in making plastics and is used for oxy-acetylene welding.
Kind or types of oxy-acetylene welding?
Types are aluminium, steel, bronze, brass, etc...
How do you weld cast iron with an oxy acetylene torch with a cast iron rod?
I am not aware of a cast iron rod for oxy acetylene welding, I am for arc welding, For cast, I use a brazing rod, a brass or copper alloy, but what do I know. If there is a cast rod available, it would be the same process, get the cast you are welding hot almost to the point of melting, bring in the rod, heat it at the same place and bring both to a melting point. Work from that point along the crack or joint you are welding. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You need not use brazing rod for case iron welding. You get arc welding electrodes for cast iron. Use appropriate grade of rod for your case iron under welding.
