The oxygen and acetylene are mixed into weld for different proportion and its result in
different types of flames, each the flames are based on advantage and application. The
correct composition of gas mixture and gas welding flames is important for gas welding
process.
The neutral gas welding flames can be weld for following metals.
Mild Steel
Stainless steel
Aluminum
Cast iron
Copper
oxidising flames:
In this flame is excess amount of oxygen supplied to the welding process. The ratio of
oxygen and acetylene is 1.5:1. In this type of zone having two Zones.
It will be hotter than the neutral frame because of excess amount of oxygen combination
to acetylene, So it provide mush amount of heat at temperature of 3482⁰C. Thus
temperature is higher than flame, so it is used to easily heat the metal but excess
amount of oxygen combine to base metal form of oxide. The oxide will reduce the weld
joint strength. For this reason only possible for following metal to be welded.
Carburising Flame
Application:
Low alloy steel rod
Lea
Carburizing
The flame temperature is melting the base metal; it flows and fill the gap between the
work piece. It base metal thickness will be low. The coalescence liquid is enough to fill
the gap. If want to more thickness of base metal and additional metal (filler metal)
required. The Base metal thickness may be as 1.5 mm, the combination of filler metal
same or near same as base metal.
