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.

Can you buy oxygen?
no you cant see or smell oxygen it comes from trees
Where could a company buy liquid oxygen?
Liquid Oxygen is only one of the physical forms of elemental oxygen. It is pale in color and can be purchased at from most welding and medical supply dealers.
Where can you find liquid oxygen?
liquid oxygen is classified as an industrial gas. It can be found in the aerospace industry and in the medical industry. There are even potable oxygen generators for personal use. Oxygen becomes liquid at about -300 degrees F.
Is oxygen 17 and oxygen 18 the same isotopes of oxygen?
they are different isotopes of oxygen, oxygen-17 has one more neutron than oxygen-16 making it slightly heavier. Oxygen-17 will react slightly slower than oxygen-16 since it has more mass.
What is called the Ratio between oxygen uptake and oxygen usage?
ratio between oxygen usage to oxygen uptake is called as Oxygen extraction ratio
How is oxygen used used in welding?
Oxygen is used to produce hot flame which is used in welding purpose
What is a reaction between acetylene and oxygen that is used in welding metal?
Used in welding metals, the reaction of acetylene with oxygen has = -1256.2= -1256.2 .
What is the color of an oxygen hose in welding?
green
Which element is used in welding with oxygen?
Acetylene.
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.
What is the gas for welding?
Oxygen and acetylene for flame welding. Argon for Tig welding CO2 for MIG welding steels Argon for MIG welding aluminum TRI-mix for robotic mig of steels. And helium is added for some overhead welding.
Which gas is use in gas welding?
oxygen and acetylene gas Argon gas is used in MIG and TIG welding
How thermit welding works?
thermit welding works with, propane and oxygen. and we need also a welding kits with one shot crucible ,portion and a luting mad.
Where can you get pure oxygen like air with more oxygen then our Earth's atmosphere?
welding supply store
Does arc welding create ozone?
Yes, arc welding does create ozone. It is because the temperatures created during arc welding convert the nearby oxygen to ozone.
Which gasses used in normal welding process?
oxygen and acetylene
TEN uses of oxygen please?
Ten uses of oxygen includes metabolism and oxygen therapy, emergency survival oxygen tanks, rocket fuel, oxygen furnance, carbon monoxide/dioxide poisoning treatment, welding, killing bacteria, cancer treatment, wastewater treatment, metal cutting, and welding.
