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.
How do you change the type of Bunsen burner flame?
To change the type of Bunsen burner flame, adjust the air hole at the base of the burner. Closing the air hole will produce a yellow, sooty flame (reducing flame) while opening it will create a blue, non-sooty flame (oxidizing flame).
What are the three types of acetylene welding flames?
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.
Why is oxidizing flame desirable in welding of copper alloys?
An oxidizing flame in welding of copper alloys helps to remove impurities such as oxides from the molten metal, resulting in a cleaner weld with better mechanical properties. Additionally, the oxidizing flame provides better control over the heat input, which is crucial for preventing overheating and distortion of the material.
A cutting flame that has an excess of oxygen?
A cutting flame with excess oxygen is known as an oxidizing flame. It is commonly used in metal cutting processes, as the higher oxygen concentration facilitates faster and more efficient cutting by promoting the oxidation of the metal. However, care must be taken to prevent overheating or damaging the material being cut.
Flame Outer oxidizing zone?
The outer oxidizing zone in a flame is where there is sufficient oxygen for combustion to occur. This area is characterized by a blue color and is where the most complete burning of fuel takes place. The outer oxidizing zone is important for efficient and clean combustion processes.

well, u juz need to use yah head somtyms buddy,, :p

What is the temperature of the oxidizing oxygen LP gas flame?
896 degrees fahrenheit to 1121 degrees fahrenheit
How many regions should a well-adjusted burner flame have?
It will have an oxidizing region and a region where gas and air mix.
Why do goldsmiths use the outermost part of the flame to melt gold and silver?
Goldsmiths use the outermost part of the flame to melt gold and silver because it provides a higher temperature while minimizing the risk of contamination. The outer flame is more oxidizing, which helps to keep the metals clean by preventing impurities from being absorbed. Additionally, this part of the flame allows for better control over the melting process, ensuring that the metals reach their melting point efficiently without overheating.
Does flame cutting use a neutral flame or slightly oxidizing flame?
Assuming that you are using the Oxygen-Acetylene cutting process; both, depending at what stage/phase of the cutting process you are in. What we encounter is a gas flow differential problem. With the cutting torch flame properly adjusted (the acetylene valve opened to the point where the un-mixed acetylene flame is burning without producing any smoke but still in contact with the cutting tip of the torch, the oxygen valve is slowly opened until you have adjusted the flame to a neutral quality or setting. Press the cutting oxygen lever; typically the flame will become slightly carburizing ("feathers" will appear at the ends of the pre-heat flames) this phenomonom occurs because of the drop in line pressure due to the high flow of oxygen through the cutting tube or orifice. With the oxygen lever remaining depressed, readjust the flame to a neutral setting. This will cause the flame to become slightly oxidizing when the cutting lever is released; since an oxidizing flame burns slightly hotter than a neutral flame the pre-heat of the metal that is being cut is faster. When the metal is at the proper pre-heat or kindling temperature (1600 F for pure iron - various steel alloys will be slightly different; beginning to turn bright red is a good indicator) depress the cutting oxygen lever, the flame will revert to "neutral" and the cut can then begin. Weld. Prof.
What is the oxygen to acetylene ratio in oxidising flame?
The ideal ratio of oxygen to acetylene in an oxidizing flame is around 1.1:1. This ratio helps ensure complete combustion of the acetylene, resulting in a clean and efficient flame with sufficient heat output for various welding and cutting applications.
What type of a flame is best to use?
if you are talking about what flame to use on a Bunsen burner than the yellow flame is to make sure that everyone knows that there is a flame but the blue flame (less visible) is used as the hotter flame and the better one.
