oxygen and acetylene gas Argon gas is used in MIG and TIG welding
What type of welding can we use LPG ?
Gas Tungsten Arc Welding Gas Metal Arc Welding Flux Cored Arc Welding
By using insulating gloves and using gas welding instead of electric arc welding.
Yes, flux core welding does not require the use of gas because the flux core wire itself produces a shielding gas to protect the weld from contamination.
One limitation of gas welding is the limited range of materials for which it is suitable, as it may not work well with certain metals or thicknesses. Additionally, gas welding can result in slower welding speeds compared to other methods like arc welding. Maintaining the proper gas pressure and flow during gas welding can also be challenging.
Larger in Gas Welding. In all arc processes the HAZ is concentrated in a couple inches around your bead. In gas welding it can be double or triple that size.
Some common natural gases used for welding include acetylene, propane, and natural gas (methane). Each gas has specific applications and properties that make them suitable for different welding processes. It is important to use the appropriate gas for the specific welding task to ensure optimal results and safety.
Some methods are used: - electron beam welding - laser beam welding - gas wolfram arc welding - gas metal arc welding - resistence welding - brazing
metal inert gas (MIG) welding
Stick welding
Gas welding basically used for weaker joints(in sheets) and arc welding for stronger one(plates). mobile welding (not in a shop)is the ideal time for arc welding . gas welding is the way to go as far as production is concerned , but requires environment with little air circulation or wind , plus gas bottle , machine , and a short lead , which makes it ideal for shop work answer Gas welding - generally use for welding of thin plates/pipes. Less heat input and less likely to burn off the edge of the plates (undercut). It is a more expensive process because of gas shielding. Arc welding - use for thicker plates usually with larger size electrodes. Higher weld production rate. Shielding by means of electrode coating. Both processes can meet the required mechanical properties usually
