Oxy-Fuel Torch Cutting – Acetylene vs Propane Oxy-fuel cutting involves a chemical reaction where a preheating flame raises the temperature of the metal to its ignition point, typically between 1600°F to 1800°F (870°C to 980°C). Subsequently, a high-pressure stream of pure oxygen is directed onto the heated area, causing rapid …

Gas Welding – Acetylene vs Propane Introduction Definition of gas welding Gas welding is a welding process that utilizes a flame produced by burning a fuel gas mixed with oxygen to generate the heat required for melting and joining metals.
