Which is the abundant element on the earth and how is it used for cutting and welding metals?

Hydrogen.When Hydrogen burns with oxygen (from the atmosphere or supplied directly) the heat of the flame is high and is suitable for welding and cutting metals.


Name the most abundant element in the universe - How can it be used forcutting and welding metals?

Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe. It can be used for cutting and welding metals through a process called oxyhydrogen or oxyacetylene welding, where hydrogen gas is mixed with oxygen to produce a high-temperature flame that can melt and cut through metal.


What is the element oxygen used for besides breathing?

Oxygen is widely used in industries such as steelmaking, welding, and healthcare. It is also used in water treatment, chemical manufacturing, and rocket propulsion.


How is oxygen used used in welding?

Oxygen is used in welding to increase the burn rate of the fuel gas, such as acetylene, in the oxy-fuel welding process. The oxygen reacts with the fuel gas, creating a high-temperature flame that is used to melt and join metal together. Additionally, oxygen is used in oxy-fuel cutting to aid in the combustion process, resulting in a clean cut through metal.


What element is used in oxy-acetylene flame?

The element used in an oxy-acetylene flame is carbon. Acetylene gas acts as the fuel, while oxygen is used as the oxidizer in the flame. The high temperature resulting from the combustion of acetylene and oxygen produces a clean and precise flame that is commonly used in cutting and welding applications.


What is the element argon used for?

its used for light bulbs, radio tubes, and welding.


Can medical oxygen be used for welding?

It could, though medical-grade oxygen is significantly more expensive than welding-grade oxygen so I'm not sure why you would want to do this.


Which gas is use in gas welding?

oxygen and acetylene gas Argon gas is used in MIG and TIG welding


What does oxygen have to do with welding?

Oxygen is an atmospheric gas that is unwanted in almost all welding processes because in it's molten state, metal oxidizes very easily and causes a weak joint. Weld surfaces are protected during the welding process to keep oxygen from contaminating the weld either by a shielding gas, flux, or in torch welding, the torches own exhaust. Occasionally however, oxygen may be added to the shielding gas mix in small amounts to stabilize the arc and reduce undercutting.


What is oxygen used for exept breathing?

Gas welding/soldering/brazing


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 are two gases used in oxy-acetylene welding?

You answered your own question. Oxygen and Acetylene. Other mixes are now used in place of Acetylene so the process is now called Oxy-Fuel.
