n - Oxygen and Acetylene are the original gasses that are used for welding/cutting. Newer mixtures are slowly replacing Acetylene as a fuel. These gasses don't always reach the temperatures attained by Acetylene. Us old-timers still prefer Acetylene.
Oxy-Gasoline is an effective fuel and is very good when traditional gas bottles are not available. Hydrogen is a good fuel when welding aluminium but is not used when welding steel because it damages the steel. Propane, butane and butane/propane mixes are also used.
farting gas:)
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.
Depends on what you think of as normal welding. Gas welding use oxygen-acetylene. MIG/TIG use Argon. MAG, use an argon-something mix. Depending on what materials you are welding, there are some more options tha might be used.
Creates Acetylene which is used in making plastics and is used for oxy-acetylene welding.

Helium and argon are used as inert gases in welding.
Argon and Helium are used as sheilding gases in welding.

helium and argon
These inert gases are used in gas tungsten arc welding, and also in gas metal arc welding for the welding of non-ferrous metals. Semi-inert shielding gases, or activeshield gases, include carbon dioxide, oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen. These active gases are used with GMAW on ferrous metals.
Argon is inert and used for welding, Neon is used for lighting signs in a variety of colors and then many different gases are used for different reasons. For instance, Hydrogen is used for a variety of reason with one of the biggest being using it in rockets and spaceships as fuel for burning. and one of the most common is Oxygen and it is used medically and for welding as well as in many chemical applications as well..

Disadvantages of buying welding tools would be the new technology of spot welding which is flameless and and doesn't require the expensive inflatted gases.

For example argon or helium for TIG welding. Oxi-fuel welding: oxygen and a combustible gas: acetylene, propane, butane, propylene, gasoline, hydrogen, etc.
