Some weldors only use Oxy/Acet to weld with. I've used it on steel, aluminum, brasses and bronze as well as silver soldering and brazing. If I had only one process available to use Oxy/Acet would be my choice as you can cut, braze, heat and weld with it. It is the process of choice for artists and craftspeople.

How do you weld a bevel broken gear which type of weilding rods are used to weld gears?

When welding something like gears, you need a rod that gives good penetration, and also has a fairly high density. I would probably use 6011 rods. These are the best for any "out of position" weld. Just be sure it's a close weld. Otherwise you'll get a lot of spatter (which you would then need to grind off).

Why do they use argon gas to tig weld?

Argon gas is an inert gas and it shields the weld from any contamination from the out side air. It shields the weld and makes it cleaner and stronger.
