These articles cover oxyfuel welding basics, with some focus on oxyfuel equipment, oxyfuel welding of various metals and alloys, and oxyfuel welding positions.
OxyFuel flat position welding is performed from the upper side of the joint. The face of the weld is approximately horizontal. Bead Welds. In order to make satisfactory bead welds on a plate surface, the flare motion, tip angle, and position of the welding flame above the molten puddle should be carefully maintained. The welding torch … Read more
While aluminum has a melting point less than half that of steel, its conductivity is over three times as great, so we use a tip about the same size for this metal as we do for steel, and because of this conductivity, we should realize that the effects of expansion and contraction must be particularly guarded against, … Read more
