A Risk Assessment of Oxygen Gas
We live in an environment that contains a mixture of gases called air which is about 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and 1% argon. Air is familiar to us because we interact with air constantly so we understand the behaviors of materials, flames, and reactions in air. However, when dealing with oxygen that is concentrated above 21%, the behavior of the atmosph... ... .. .
MIG Welding
MIG stands for Metal Inert Gas. In simple terms it is a shielding gas that displaces the atmosphere at the point of welding so that the welding ARC can form in and create a weld pool. If you attempt to weld without this protective gas shield the atmosphere which will cause defects in the weld. Ar......
Oxy-Fuel Cutting with Acetylene
Burning fuel in the presence of oxygen produces an intensely hot flame that has been used to cut and weld metal for more than a century. For the operator, the only decision that needs to be made before production begins is the type of fuel to use. Common fuels include acetylene, propane, and propylene and each has benefits and detr... .. .
