Mixing Acetylene and Oxygen in the correct proportions produces an extremely hot flame. Using just enough Oxygen so that the Acetylene is almost completely consumed in the flame is called a Neutral Flame. In most welding and cutting applications you would utilize this flame. Reducing the amount of Oxygen produces a Carburizing Flame. It is yellowish and not as hot as a Neutral Flame, but, is used in certain situations. Welding Aluminum is one. Increasing the Oxygen produces an Oxidizing Flame. It produces a flame that is pointed, colder, and louder than a Neutral Flame. It wastes fuel and isn't as efficient as a Neutral Flame.

What types of flame are obtained in oxy-acetylene gas welding?

When the correct amount of Oxygen is mixed with the Acetylene a NEUTRAL flame is produced. Less than that amount produces a CARBURIZING flame. Too much Oxygen creates an OXIDIZING flame. Most welding/cutting is done with a NEUTRAL flame but all flame adjustments have their purpose.


Can metallic bonds be formed from a welded joint?

Yes, welding of metals typically involves heating and fusion in resistance welding, arc welding, acetylene torch welding. Metallic bonds are formed between the substrate and the weld. The composition of the weld and the substrate around the weld inevitably is different from the material being welded.


What are the types of contaminants that can result from welding?

Common contaminants that can result from welding include fumes (such as metal oxide particles), gases (such as ozone and nitrogen oxides), and particulates (such as slag and metal dust). These contaminants can pose health risks to welders if inhaled, leading to respiratory issues and other health problems. Proper ventilation and personal protective equipment are important to reduce exposure to welding contaminants.

What is the general mix of oxygen and acetylene in welding?

A general rule is 3 parts Oxygen to 1 part Acetylene. Other fuel gasses may vary the ratio. This produces a Neutral flame. See the answer to "Types of flames" for more info.


Kind or types of oxy-acetylene welding?

What are uses of each one of the oxyacetylene flames?

There are three distinct types of oxy-acetylene flames, usually termed: -Neutral: The neutral flame will usually have no chemical effect on the metal being welded. -Carburizing (or excess acetylene): It will cause an increase in the carbon content of the weld metal. -Oxidizing (or excess oxygen ): It will oxidize or "burn" some of the metal being welded. The type of flame produced depends upon the ratio of oxygen to acetylene in the gas mixture which leaves the torch tip.


Gas used in different types of welding would include what?

Gasses used in welding can include oxygen, acetylene, argon, helium, hydrogen, propane, MAPP gas, and others for special purposes. They may be grouped as oxidizers, fuels and shield gasses.


What is Barium Carbide used for?

Barium carbide can be used to produce acetylene gas, which is used in welding and cutting operations. It is also used in the production of certain types of steel and in the manufacturing of chemicals. Additionally, it has potential applications in the field of semiconductors.


What are the three types of machines used in manual metal arc welding?

I am not sure your question is clear enough but here I go... Stick Arc Welding (AC or DC), MIG (Metal Inert Gas) and TIG (Tunsten Inter Gas). All three of these are the basic metal welding machines.


Name of the type of welding?

There are several types of welding, each suited to different materials, applications, and project requirements. The most common types include: MIG Welding (Metal Inert Gas): Uses a continuous wire feed and shielding gas to create a strong bond, ideal for thin to medium thickness metals. TIG Welding (Tungsten Inert Gas): Involves using a non-consumable tungsten electrode and is known for its precision and ability to weld thin materials. Stick Welding (Shielded Metal Arc Welding): Utilizes a consumable electrode and is highly versatile, suitable for outdoor and heavy-duty applications. Flux-Cored Arc Welding (FCAW): Similar to MIG but with a flux-filled wire, making it ideal for welding thicker materials. Submerged Arc Welding (SAW): Uses a continuously fed electrode and flux to create high-quality welds in thick materials. Gas Welding (Oxy-Acetylene): Combines oxygen and acetylene to create a flame for welding and cutting metals. For quality work, you can search for "welding and fabrication near me" to find local experts offering reliable welding services for your specific needs.

What are types of welding machines?

2 basic types, Gas shielding, and flux shielding. Gas shielding comes from compressed tanks of inert gas such as argon. these gases are pumped through the welding hose and over the weld pool. The flux type protects the weld by covering it in a layer of slag that prevent it from being contaminated by the surrounding air.


What gas is used in welding cylinders?

Welding cylinders contains different types of gas. Oxygen is common to all the kinds of cwelding. The other common gas used is a combustible gas like acetylene which is the fuel for the torch. The fuel gas could also be hydrogen, MPS or MAPP gas, butane, propane, or propylene. Some welding (e.g. aluminum welding) requires a shield gas which protects the surfaces near the flame and improves the quality of the weld. These can include helium, argon, carbon dioxide or nitrogen.


What are three types of metal transfer in an arc welding process?

Spray, Solid, and Globular which is part way between the other two.


Why are the oxygen and acetylene hose fittings made with different thread screws?

Oxygen and acetylene hose fittings are designed with different thread types to prevent accidental mixing of the two gases, which can be dangerous. The differing threads ensure that only the correct gas can be connected to its corresponding regulator and torch, reducing the risk of fire or explosion. This design feature is an essential safety measure in welding and cutting operations.
