You have oxygen and acetylene to blend into the tip for a flame. It will be regulated by adjusting the regulators on the bottles and the welding handle will have adjusting ability for the temperature you need for the metal you are welding.

For welding materials together that do not require regulated temperature control on heated materials. Such as car bodies and frames. They would require controlled heating to keep from weakening the metals during the welding process. This would be done with mig-welding. A porch railing for instance would not require controlled heat. Therefore, you could weld it with oxy-acetylene.

What is the difference between gas welding goggles and arc welding goggles?

If by gas welding you mean-oxyacetylene welding. The difference is just that arc welding requires a darker shade of lens. When oxyfuel gas welding (OFW) usually a shade 5 lens is recommended. When arc welding, a minimum of shade 10 lens should be used (actually shade should be determined by amount of current used).
