Which two gases mixed and used as fuel in welding?

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.


Which gasses used in normal welding process?

The gases commonly used in welding are oxygen, acetylene, argon, and carbon dioxide. These gases play different roles in the welding process, such as providing heat, shielding the weld from atmospheric contamination, and facilitating the arc.


What type of gas is used or welding?

It depends on what welding process is being used and what type of metal is being welded. When Oxy-Fuel Welding, Acetylene is the most popular. MAPP gas and Propane are also used. With the GMAW (MIG) process Argon, CO2 and Oxygen gasses, in mixtures or alone, are used. GTAW (TIG) gasses are almost always Argon and/or Helium. This is not all inclusive as new processes are being developed every day. Check with your welding material supplier for relevant info.


What are common substances used in fuels for welding?

Common substances used in fuels for welding include acetylene, propane, natural gas, and hydrogen. These fuels are used in conjunction with oxygen to create the high temperature flame needed for welding processes.


Why is ethene and air not used for welding?

If your question is "Why is Acetylene and Oxygen used for welding/cutting NOT Oxygen and air"? This is why. Acetylene and air mixed in correct proportions produces a flame temperature of 4500F to 4800F degrees. Acetylene mixed with Oxygen in the correct proportions produces a flame well above 5500F degrees. This extra heat melts the metal faster and increases the speed you can cut or weld. Other gasses instead of Acetylene are used but do not produce as high a temperature. Oxygen is almost always used with these other gasses.

Where will you find natural gassass?

Natural gasses are a by-product of oil production. Where you will find oil, you will have natural gas. Commercially, natural gasses are used for heating, cooking, and producing of electricity.

What is the process of underwater welding?

Underwater welding uses a special flux around the welding rod which produces gasses which form a bubble around the end of the rod ,excluding the water. It is difficult and never as strong, lacking penetration. It is only used when absolutly necessary.


Gas used in welding is what?

GASSES - Oxygen and Acetylene. Acetylene is sometimes replaced by a mixture of gasses. The Oxygen increases the burning rate/temperature of Acetylene and temperatures in excess of 6,000o F can be reached.

Why are welding hoses colored?

They can carry different gasses and a welder can tell them apart without lifting his visor.
