INTRODUCTION
Gas welding is a process that uses a mixture of fuel gas and oxygen to produce a
flame for heating and joining metals together.
The flame melts the edges of the metal pieces to be joined , allowing them to
fuse together. It has been a fundamental method for metal fabrication and repair
for over a century.
Its versatile, portable, and widely used in metal fabrication and repair work.
Types of Gas welding
There are several types of gas welding processes, including
• 1.OXY- HYDROGEN WELDING:Oxy-hydrogen gas welding, also known as oxy-fuel welding or
water torch welding, is a process that utilizes a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen gases to
produce a high-temperature flame for welding and cutting metals. Hydrogen (H2): 66.7%
Oxygen (O2): 33.3%
• OXY- ACETYLENE WELDING: Acetylene(C2H2): 40% to 50% Oxygen (O2): 50% to 60%
• OXY PROPANE WELDING: Propane (C3H8): 95% to 98%
• Oxygen (O2): 2% to 5%
1. PRESSURE GAS WELDING
EQUIPMENT NEEDED
The equipment needed for gas welding typically includes:
1. GAS CYLINDERS – CONTAINING FUEL GAS AND OXYGEN
2. REGULATORS- TO CONTROL GAS FLOW
3. HOSES- TO DELIVER GASES TO THE TORCH
4. TORCH- TO PRODUCE THE FLAME
5. TIPS- TO CONTROL FLAME SIZE
6. FLASHBCK ARRESTORS- TO PREVENT ACCIDENTS
WELDING GOGGLES- FOR EYE PROTECTION
GAS WELDING PROCESSES
1. PREPARATION: clean the metal surfaces to be welded and set up the
welding equipment
2. IGNITION: open the valves on the gas cylinders and ignite the flame using a
spark lighter
3. WELDING: direct the flame onto the joint area to heat it until the metal
edges begin to melt. Add the filler metal
4. COOLING: allow the welded area to cool naturally or use a suitable cooling
method to avoid distortion
APPLICATIONS OF GAS WELDING
Applications of gas welding are as follows:
1. CONSTRUCTION
2.AUTOMOTIVE REPAIRS
3. METAL FABRICATION
4. AERO SPACING
