Oxy-Fuel Welding (Oxy-Gas Welding)
Oxy-fuel welding is a process that joins metal parts using high temperatures generated by burning oxygen and a fuel gas (typically acetylene).
Advantages:
✔ Portability: Lightweight equipment makes it ideal for fieldwork.
✔ No Electricity Required: Can be used in environments without electrical power.
✔ Versatile Material Compatibility: Suitable for welding steel, aluminum, copper, and other metals.
✔ Precision Control: Provides better control when welding thin metals.
Disadvantages:
✖ Low Efficiency: Slower compared to other welding methods.
✖ Difficult Temperature Control: High heat can cause overheating and distortion of the metal.
✖ Gas Cylinder Hazards: The use of flammable gases poses risks of fire and explosions.
✖ Limited Penetration: Not suitable for welding thick materials effectively.
