Oxy-Acetylene Welding of Steel & Iron There are many different varieties of steel, but from a welding standpoint they may be classified by their carbon content. Those having a high carbon content are called hard steels; those with a low carbon content, soft steels. Wrought iron may be treated the same as mild or soft steel. To be sure, there

It also controls the volume of these gases burning at the welding tip, which produces the required type of flame. The torch consists of a handle or body which contains the hose connections for the oxygen and the fuel gas. The torch
