In oxy-acetylene metal cutting What is a gouging tip used for and how is it used?

It is used for gouging ferrous materials. 4 psi acetylene and about 35 psi O2.
The tip is angled (bent) to kind of parallel to the base metal. The preheating holes are similar to the cutting torch holes but the oxygen hole is larger. Heat what you need to gouge and open the air (oxygen) valve when ready. The oxygn will oxidize the heat metal and the extra oxygen will blow the molten metal away leaving a gouge (groove)

Are there special torches for special tasks?
Yes, there are a variety of torches, from wicker outdoor Tiki torches that normally burn citronella oil to ward of insects, to acetylene torches used for cutting metal.
Where does metal come from and what is it used for?
Metal ores are found underground, and are mined to produce metal. Metals have many different uses that are specific to the individual metal - copper is used for wires due to its good conductivity, iron is used for magnets as it is magnetic, and steel (analloy consisting mostly of iron) is used for building as it's very strong.
How has technology changed sheet metal work?
Large sheet metal operations used central computers to direct all sheet metal-forming operations.
What kind of metal can survive underwater conditions?
any metal covered in zinc. zinc is used to prevent metals from rusting
What is an Abra file?
This file is in the form of a piece of hardened wire with teeth in it. Along with two clip-holders it replaces a hacksaw blade in the hacksaw frame and can be used to cut a channel in any direction about 2-3 mm wide. Correct tension prevents it snapping.
What is Gouging torch in welding?
There are two types of gouging. First is with oxy-fuel. A special tip is used in the cutting torch that lets you direct the flame almost parallel to the work. A low pressure setting on the oxygen is directed thru the center of the tip. As the preheat flames melt the surface the operater depresses the cutting lever and the oxygen combines with the molten metal and is blown out creating a gouge as you proceed across the metal. The second requires a special torch and electrodes and is called carbon air arc gouging. High amperage settings allow you to establish an arc between the copper coated carbon electrodes and the metal. This melts the metal while a continous flow of high pressure air blows the molten metal out and a gouge is created as you move across the surface. In both instances the slower you move across the metal the deeper the gouge.
What are hacksaws used for?
Cutting metal or plastics.
What is hacking used for?
It is a saw used for cutting metal plates
What is laser cutting used for?
Examples: cutting of plastics, metal sheets, metal tubes, textiles, etc; also surgical lasers.
Formula of cutting oil?
There is no direct formula for cutting oil ,it is actually which metal cutting tool is used when cutting oil or oil based .
Can fiberglass be used to repair rusted metal?
Yes but with poor results. How about cutting the rusted metal out and replacing it?
What is gouging in welding process?
Gouging is a process where an arc is established between a carbon rod and the metal to be gouged and the metal is melted. A steady flow of air is blown into that molten pool removing the molten metal. Increasing the amperage or slowing down the travel speed allows a deeper gouge. Speeding up the travel speed or decreasing the amperage removes less metal. Copper coated carbon rods are used and are available in different diameters and shapes.
What is a metal cutting band saw for?
It is used when you need a maneuverable saw as in an arch in a stand or bench.
Why high speed steels used for tools equipment?
because hss are harder than rest types of metal hence they are used for cutting metal
Uses of the different types of saw?
Tenon Saw : Used to cut metal tubes, rods and metal sheets. Hacksaw: Used for cutting straight lines in wood. Crosscut Saw: Used to cut wood purposly at 90 digrees to the wood grain. Coping Saw: Used for cutting a range of woods. Usefull for cutting shapes and curves. Keyhole Saw: Used for cutting small holes in wood.
What are metal band saws used for?
A bandsaw is a powerful piece of equipment which uses a blade consisting of a continuous band of metal with teeth along one edge, and is used for cutting metal.
Can you use a laser cutting machine for metal?
Not all laser cutting machines are appropriate for use on metla. There are metal laser machines that can be used on nickel, bronze, aluminum, brass, and more. Most personal use machines can not be used on steel.
