Thermit welding is a welding process that employs molten metal to permanently join the conductors.
The process employs an exothermic reaction of a thermite composition to heat the metal, and requires no external source of heat or current.
Thermit welding is often used in Replacing broken gear teeth and Repairing broken shears and Joining rails, truck frames and locomotive frames etc.
Electron-beam welding. Electron-beam welding (EBW) is a fusion welding process in which a beam of high-velocity electrons is applied to two materials to be joined.
EBW is often performed under vacuum conditions to prevent dissipation of the electron beam.
Acetylene gas is stored in cylinders in liquid form.
The neutral flame is the flame in which the amount of oxygen is precisely enough for burning, and neither oxidation nor reduction occurs. A flame with a good balance of oxygen is clear blue. The reducing and neutral flames are useful in soldering and annealing.
Neutral Welding Flame. The neutral flame has a one-to-one ratio of acetylene and oxygen. It obtains additional oxygen from the air and provides complete combustion. It is generally preferred for welding.
The maximum flame temperature occurs At the inner cone.
