What is an gauze mat used for?
A gauze mat is used below bunsen burners as it protects the tripod or surface which the bunsen burner might be on. It is most likely to be made of thick metal threads threaded into a mat or square. It is best if it is not touched during an experiment including a bunsen burner as it probably will result in mild to severe burns.

Wire gauze functions?
Wire gauze can be used to support a container (such as a beaker or flask) during heating. When the Bunsen burner flame is beneath it, with a tripod, the wire gauze helps to spread the flame (and heat) out evenly over the container. It is frequently used in combination with an iron ring and ring stand with a Bunsen burner underneath it (see the Related Questions for more information about an iron ring, ring stand, and Bunsen burner & tripod). A clay triangle serves a similar purpose, except that a clay triangle is used for a crucible instead.

Why a gauze is often placed over a burning flame for heating an object?
To prevent flame impingement on the vessel being heated, which could damage the vessel. A flame cannot pass through a gauze (or screen). as a proof you could set up a bunsen burner beneath a wire gauze. Turn the gas on and ignite the gas above the gauze. you will notice the flame will stay above the gauze. If you ignite the flame beneath the gauze and lower the gauze into the flame, the flame will not pass above the gauze. Yet, if you light both below and above the gauze you will have flame on both sides. Indicating that flames impinging on the gauze do not burn the gas completely and the gas will pass through the gauze.
Why does the roaring flame from the Bunsen burner turn red after passing through the wire gauze?
burner usually gives off blue flame because it receives enough oxygen to keep it burning at full strength. but after passing through wire gauze the flame turns red because it then receives a disrupted, less and unsteady amount of oxygen. this also causes the temperature of the flame to fall.
