Oxygen and acetylene

Welding is a process in which metal can be joined best together with the help of heat. This technique is very, very old! In fact, ancient Egyptians were among the first welders in history. They made tools and weapons using a technique called forge welding. This step consisted in making the metal really warm until it could be hammered and joined together in one single piece.

 

Eventually later in the 19th century, more creative welding processes were invented. This changed the industry a lot through their use of electricity and gas. This helped workers to a great extent as it revolutionized welding. The most well-known and widely used combination of gas for welding today is a mix of oxygen and AGEM acetylene.


The Advantages of Using Oxygen and Acetylene

A significant benefit of working with oxygen and acetylene is the control. In other words, welders (administering welding) have been able to adjust the flame to be at the right temperature for a specific metal. AGEM oxygen and acetylene regulators are also able to create a larger or smaller flame, depending on their particular needs at that time.

 

The other biggest benefit of this combo gas is that it minimizes very minimal post-weld deleterious material known as slag. This is useful to ease the cleanup process after working with welding fumes. Additionally, due to the extreme intensity of the flame, welding can be accomplished faster as well, which in turn minimizes labor time and expense for workers and their organizations.
