What is the difference between oxygen and acetylene and MIG welding?

Oxy-Acetylene, uses a burning flame to melt the metals being welded. You need a separate filler rod and flux to complete the weld.
MIG (Metal Inert Gas), uses electricity in an effective dead short, to heat up and melt the metal. The electricty is passed through a wire which melts and becomes part of the weld. Inert gas surrounds the weld while it cools to prevent oxidation.
The whole process is controlled with motors, driving the wire through the tongs, a switch to control the current and a valve to release the inert gas. All held in one convenient pistol grip.

What are the similarities and differences between combustion and respiration?
Similarities ; Both involve the movement and chemical change of gases. Difference ; Combustion is the consumption of oxygen and a carbon containing compound to form carbon dioxide. Respiration ; in the consumption of carbon dioxide to form oxygen and biomass using UV light.
What type of bonding is expected between strontium and oxygen?
covalent bonding
What test would you use to distinguish between nitrogen an oxygen?
You can test for oxygen by placing a glowing splint (not lit but not out) into the test tube where you think oxygen is present. If the splint relights, that means that it is oxygen. If this doesn't happen, then in your case it will be nitrogen.
What is the relationship between pH and Dissolved Oxygen?
i dont know i need help with this question as well
What are the similarities between respiration and burning?
they are both used to release energy out of oxygen
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 .
Which element is used in welding with oxygen?
Acetylene.
What is the difference between oxygen and acetylene cutting tips?
everything
Which gasses used in normal welding process?
oxygen and acetylene
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.
What is difference between acetylene and formaldehyde?
Oxygen is a chemical element, acetylene is an organic chemical compound.
Which gas is use in gas welding?
oxygen and acetylene gas Argon gas is used in MIG and TIG welding
Why for welding use oxygen and acetylene?
Because of all the gas combinations used with this process Oxygen and Acetylene, in correct proportions, produce the highest flame temperature.
What is the difference between an oxygen regulator and an acetylene regulator?
the threads on a acetylene bottle are anti clockwise so on oygen bottle its righty tighty on acetylene its lefty tighty
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.
How can a person tell the difference between oxygen and acetylene?
The tanks should be clearly marked by law.
What gases do mechanics use for heating metals during welding?
mixture of oxygen and acetylene (oxyacetylene)
