Brazing
-Adhesion: filler metal is melted at a lower melting temp onto the base metal Sticks the metal together.

Welding
-Base metal is melted along the weld and filler rod is added- melted metal flows together and becomes solid. FUSION!

Pressures for welding
-oxygen: 10 psi-Acetylene: 5 psi

Advantages for Gas Welding
-Stronger than brazing-Able to weld thin metal-Not as much sparks/spatter-Do not need electricity
![Page 8: Gas Welding. Brazing -Adhesion: filler metal is melted at a lower melting temp onto the base metal Sticks the metal together](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e7b5503460f94b7d24d/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Disadvantages of Gas welding
-Harder to do than Arc welding (Add rod with other hand)
-Not as strong as Arc weld-Can be dangerous

• Neutral Flame– Used in brazing and OAW (oxygen acetylene
welding)– Equal amounts of oxygen and acetylene

Tank Valves
• Open and close tanks• Open oxygen tank all the way• Open acetylene tank no more than 1 turn
![Page 14: Gas Welding. Brazing -Adhesion: filler metal is melted at a lower melting temp onto the base metal Sticks the metal together](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e7b5503460f94b7d24d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Striker
-used to light the torch-Never use a match-Never use a lighter (unless you want to blow your hand off…)-Never light off of another torch
![Page 21: Gas Welding. Brazing -Adhesion: filler metal is melted at a lower melting temp onto the base metal Sticks the metal together](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e7b5503460f94b7d24d/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Lighting and adjusting a torch
1-Open Acetylene valve a crack - ¼ turn2-Use striker to ignite3-Open Acetylene valve till the end of the flame starts to dance4-Open oxygen valve until feather turns into a small cone
![Page 22: Gas Welding. Brazing -Adhesion: filler metal is melted at a lower melting temp onto the base metal Sticks the metal together](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e7b5503460f94b7d24d/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Shutting Down
1-Righty-tighty2-Close oxygen valve first3-then close acetylene
![Page 23: Gas Welding. Brazing -Adhesion: filler metal is melted at a lower melting temp onto the base metal Sticks the metal together](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e7b5503460f94b7d24d/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Backfire
-Flame goes out with a loud pop -Caused by flame going out suddenly
-Causes of Backfire -Tip too dirty (Obstruction in the welding tip)
-Torch touches the work piece-Adjustment of flame is set too low or incorrect-Dirty metal-Damaged or loose tip-Tip is overheated
![Page 24: Gas Welding. Brazing -Adhesion: filler metal is melted at a lower melting temp onto the base metal Sticks the metal together](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e7b5503460f94b7d24d/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Flashback
-Flame burns back inside the tip, the torch and the hose
-Causes of Flashback -Backfire-Procedure to Follow -Turn off torch valves
-Clean tip
