Oxyacetylene Flames Used in Welding
Figure 27.1 Three basic types of oxyacetylene flames used in oxyfuel-gas welding and cutting operations: (a) neutral flame; (b) oxidizing flame; (c) carburizing, or reducing, flame. The gas mixture in (a) is basically equal volumes of oxygen and acetylene.

Torch Used in Oxyacetylene WeldingFigure 27.2 (a) General view of and (b) cross-section of a torch used in oxyacetylene welding. The acetylene valve is opened first; the gas is lit with a spark lighter or a pilot light; then the oxygen valve is opened and the flame adjusted. (c) Basic equipment used in oxyfuel-gas welding. To ensure correct connections, all threads on acetylene fittings are left-handed, whereas those for oxygen are right-handed. Oxygen regulators are usually painted green, acetylene regulators red.

Shielded Metal-Arc Welding
Figure 27.4 Schematic illustration of the shielded metal-arc welding process. About 50% of all large-scale industrial welding operations use this process.
Figure 27.5 Schematic illustration of the shielded metal-arc welding operations (also known as stick welding, because the electrode is in the shape of a stick).

Designations for Mild Steel Coated Electrodes
TABLE 27.2The prefix “E” designates arc welding electrode.The first two digits of four-digit numbers and the first three digits of five-digit numbersindicate minimum tensile strength:
E60XX 60,000 psi minimum tensile strengthE70XX 70,000 psi minimum tensile strengthE110XX 110,000 psi minimum tensile strength
The next-to-last digit indicates position:EXX1X All positionsEXX2X Flat position and horizontal fillets
The last two digits together indicate the type of covering and the current to be used.The suffix (Example: EXXXX-A1) indicates the approximate alloy in the weld deposit:
—A1 0.5% Mo—B1 0.5% Cr, 0.5% Mo—B2 1.25% Cr, 0.5% Mo—B3 2.25% Cr, 1% Mo—B4 2% Cr, 0.5% Mo—B5 0.5% Cr, 1% Mo—C1 2.5% Ni—C2 3.25% Ni—C3 1% Ni, 0.35% Mo, 0.15% Cr—D1 and D2 0.25–0.45% Mo, 1.75% Mn—G 0.5% min. Ni, 0.3% min. Cr, 0.2% min. Mo, 0.1%min. V,
