2. Oxy-fuel welding and cutting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxy-fuel_welding_and_cutting

   Reducing, neutral and oxidizing oxyacetylene flames. The welder can adjust the oxy-acetylene flame to be carburizing (aka reducing), neutral, or oxidizing. Adjustment is made by adding more or less oxygen to the acetylene flame. The neutral flame is the flame most generally used when welding or cutting.

3. List of welding processes - Wikipedia

   Chemical welding process, not popular Limited Oxyacetylene welding: 311: OAW Combustion of acetylene with oxygen produces high-temperature flame, inexpensive equipment Maintenance, repair Oxygen/Propane welding 312: Gas welding with oxygen/propane flame Oxyhydrogen welding: 313: OHW Combustion of hydrogen with oxygen produces flame Limited

4. Oxidizing and reducing flames - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxidizing_and_reducing_flames

   Reducing, neutral and oxidizing oxyacetylene flames. A flame is affected by the fuel introduced and the oxygen available. A flame with a balanced oxygen-fuel ratio is called a neutral flame. The color of a neutral flame is semi-transparent purple or blue. [1] This flame is optimal for many uses because it does not oxidize or deposit soot onto ...

5. Oxy-fuel combustion process - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxy-fuel_combustion_process

   Since the nitrogen component of air is not heated, fuel consumption is reduced, and higher flame temperatures are possible. Historically, the primary use of oxy-fuel combustion has been in welding and cutting of metals, especially steel, since oxy-fuel allows for higher flame temperatures than can be achieved with an air-fuel flame. [1]

6. MAPP gas - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAPP_gas

   A set of MAPP and oxygen cylinders is used for oxy-fuel welding and cutting.. MAPP gas was a trademarked name, belonging to The Linde Group, a division of the former global chemical giant Union Carbide, for a fuel gas based on a stabilized mixture of methylacetylene (propyne), propadiene and propane.

7. Flashback arrestor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flashback_arrestor

   A flashback arrestor or flash arrestor is a gas safety device most commonly used in oxy-fuel welding and cutting to stop the flame or reverse flow of gas back up into the equipment or supply line. It protects the user and equipment from damage or explosions.
