In oxy-hydrogen welding, hydrogen combines with oxygen to generate steam and attains a flame temperature of around 28000C. But the weld pool is not protected from the atmosphere when the oxygen for combustion is completely provided by the torch itself. So, Oxygen is an amount slightly less than that required for complete combustion is provided by the torch, whereas atmospheric oxygen accounts for the burning of the remaining hydrogen. This gives rise to a protective preheating flame that surrounds the main flame. But this reduces the flame temperature to some extent. Because of the lower flame temperature, oxy-hydrogen welding is a generally slow process. It is normally used to weld thin sheets of steels and alloys with low melting temperatures.
Key features :
- Operation is convenient & safe
- Environmental friendly
- Welding features
Welding work is fast, precision, smooth and
beautiful welding spot. The oxyhydrogen flame is concentrated up to 2800 0C
so it can heat the welding spot to melting point very quickly.
- Energy-saving and low cost
