WhatAreTheMain AdvantagesOf Gas Welding Over Arc Welding?

People often think that... gas welding is no match for arc welding.

welding is far o gas welding.

And, right…theymanyinways,are

But, despite the popularity of arc welding, gas welding remains in the game.

Do you want to know the reason behind this?

Well, the below discussion will help you…

A Brief History of Welding

Welding is the process of joining multiple parts together to form a single structure.

The ancient Egyptians knew how to weld.

And, evidence suggests that the "process of welding" was invented in 4000 BC- during the Bronze Age.

However, modern welding was invented by Nicolae Benardos in 1881.

He developed a form of weldingknown as "carbon arc welding".

A lot has changed in the field of "welding" since then...

Scientists have developed many types of welding processes.

FYI, four different types of welding have been developed, viz; Gas welding Arc welding Resistance welding Solid state welding

Here our conversation will be limited to gas and arc welding only.

Gas WeldingWhat Is It?

Edmond

Fouche and Charles Picard invented gas welding in 1903.

Back then… it was popular.very

To weld two separate work pieces together, it generates a concentrated flame.

And, to generate the flame, it burns a mixture of oxygen and acetylene.

Arc WeldingWhat Is It?

Instead of flame,concentratedaarcweldinggeneratesan"electricarc".

Just so you know, the temperature of the arc can reach 6000 °C.

It is affordable, portable, versatile, and the most widely used welding process.

Okay… now that we have a brief awareness about the working of gas and arc welding, let’s discuss why gas welding is still in the race.

Advantages of Gas Welding Over Arc Welding

It doesn’t electricityneed

Arc welding needs electricity to function. However, gas welding does not…

This is the most important thing that keeps gas welding in the race.

It's easy to use

Another advantage of gas welding over arc welding is its “easiness of use”.

A person can use gas welding without any prior knowledge about it.

So, these are some of the advantages gas welding has over arc welding.
