Brazing Copper Pipe With Oxy Acetylene

Oxy acetylene welding is a welding process manually in which the surfaces to be joined which is warming to melt by a gas flame oxyacetylene with or without filler metal where the connection process without emphasis.

Brazing copper pipe with oxy acetylene.

Acetylene is a gas that made by adding water to carbide rocks. At the end of the. Avoid an oxidizing flame. This torch can be used for welding most medals including steel.

It is the gas that used to power miner s headlamps. Jeff shows how to braze using an oxygen and acetylene how to set your gas mixture and the correct way to light your torch. The neutral flame has a well defined inner cone see diagram. With the temperature of an oxy acetylene flame more than 3000 o f degrees hotter than the 1100 to 1500 o f required for brazing technicians need to hold the torch farther away so as not to melt the base material copper melts at 1981 o f.

Excess acetylene removes surface oxides from the copper. Also they must continuously move the torch around the diameter of the pipe to evenly distribute the heat. In addition to the purposes of welding connecting gas welding can also be used as preheating brazing cutting and hard facing.
