Oxy-Acetylene Welding of Cast Iron

Oxy-Acetylene Welding of Cast Iron The welding of cast iron with the oxy-acetylene flame is comparatively easy, if attention is paid to some simple rules. The cast iron in common use is known as. “gray;” it is quite soft, easily machined and has a lower melting point than wrought iron or steel. It contains two kinds of carbon, combined and

Oxy-Acetylene Welding of Copper, Brass & Bronze

Oxy-Acetylene Welding of Copper Copper conducts heat more rapidly than any other commercial metal. It will oxidize very easily and this oxidation is not easily apparent to the operator, but the weld becomes very brittle. The melting point is under that of steel and iron, yet because of its high conductivity a larger tip for the same size material is

Titanium

Titanium Titanium : symbol Ti, atomic number 22. Titanium has a low density and is a strong, lustrous, corrosion-resistant (including sea water, aqua regia and chlorine) transition metal with a silver color. The two most useful properties of Titanium are corrosion resistance and the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any metal. Titanium and its alloys offer excellent corrosion resistance to acids,
