Primarily when brazing cast iron. Nickel rods are available to arc weld cast iron but in most cases it has to be preheated and it takes experience to prevent cracking. Using oxy-acet provides a means to preheat, maintain the temperature, and braze. Welding, brazing, and silver soldering with oxy-acet have become lost arts. Most common metals can be welded with this process including steel and aluminum.

When discovered welding?
Arc and oxy acetylene welding were both discovered around 1900. Plus or minus 5 years or so, but it's kind of fuzzy...
Which is hotter oxy and acetylene welding or MIG welding?
This is something of a trick question... Every metal has its own melting point that must be reached to weld the material. The difference between Oxy-ace and Mig is the Heat Effected Zone. This is the blue and purple area around your weld in which the Microstructure and properties of your base material change. Oxy-Ace will have a much wider HAZ.
Name of the type of welding?
There are several types of welding, each suited to different materials, applications, and project requirements. The most common types include: MIG Welding (Metal Inert Gas): Uses a continuous wire feed and shielding gas to create a strong bond, ideal for thin to medium thickness metals. TIG Welding (Tungsten Inert Gas): Involves using a non-consumable tungsten electrode and is known for its precision and ability to weld thin materials. Stick Welding (Shielded Metal Arc Welding): Utilizes a consumable electrode and is highly versatile, suitable for outdoor and heavy-duty applications. Flux-Cored Arc Welding (FCAW): Similar to MIG but with a flux-filled wire, making it ideal for welding thicker materials. Submerged Arc Welding (SAW): Uses a continuously fed electrode and flux to create high-quality welds in thick materials. Gas Welding (Oxy-Acetylene): Combines oxygen and acetylene to create a flame for welding and cutting metals. For quality work, you can search for "welding and fabrication near me" to find local experts offering reliable welding services for your specific needs.

What type of welding process is used to join dissimilar metal?
friction welding can be used to join dissimilar metal. Also depending on the metals most arc welding processes and oxy-fuel can used. It's just a matter of using the correct filler material or electrode.
What kind of welding machine do you use to weld your muffler?
I would use a wire feed MIG, or a oxy-fuel torch. If arc welding, use a low power. It's really easy to burn through exhaust pipes and mufflers.

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.
Can malleable iron be welded?
Yes, malleable iron can be welded using certain welding techniques such as shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), gas metal arc welding (GMAW), or oxy-acetylene welding. Proper preparation and preheating are crucial to ensure a successful weld.
What is the difference between oxy-acet welding and lpg welding?
The Oxy-acetylene flame is much hotter and the preferred combination for the welder especially when welding pipe and plate metal. Somewhat of a rare welding procedure in modern times. Replaced by arc welding. Liquid Propane Gas burns cooler and is preferred by employers as it is cheaper. Not bad results on light gauge material, again takes longer to heat up. -RedSeal Welder
Can LPG be used as alternative to oxy-acetelene?
LPG is liquid petroleum gas and oxy-acetylene is oxy fuel welding. The LPG can be used as an alternative to oxy-acetylene and is cheaper and can be purchased in bulk. The oxy-acetylene is best used when making shorter, thinner, and faster cuttings.
Which came first MIG TIG or oxy accedoline welding?
Oxy-acetylene (notice the spelling) came first.

Why is acetylene rather than butane gas used for welding?
Acetylene is used for welding because it burns hotter than butane, allowing for faster and more efficient welding. Additionally, acetylene produces a reducing flame, which helps prevent oxidation of the metal being welded. This makes it particularly well-suited for welding ferrous metals like steel.
Kind or types of oxy-acetylene welding?
Types are aluminium, steel, bronze, brass, etc...
How do you weld cast iron with an oxy acetylene torch with a cast iron rod?
I am not aware of a cast iron rod for oxy acetylene welding, I am for arc welding, For cast, I use a brazing rod, a brass or copper alloy, but what do I know. If there is a cast rod available, it would be the same process, get the cast you are welding hot almost to the point of melting, bring in the rod, heat it at the same place and bring both to a melting point. Work from that point along the crack or joint you are welding. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You need not use brazing rod for case iron welding. You get arc welding electrodes for cast iron. Use appropriate grade of rod for your case iron under welding.
