1. Introduction
1.1 Fusion welding:
Fusion welding is a type of welding that depends on melting to join metals
of similar properties. Due to the high-temperature phase transitions
inherent to these processes, a heat-affected zone is created in the
material. Moreover, It is the welding in the liquid state with no pressure,
therefore, the union of the metals is by molten metal bridging. Moreover,
the source of heat is by chemical reaction, electric resistance, electric arc,
and power beams.
We can use this method with filler or without filler, also it can be used
with pressure or without using pressure. Moreover, it can braze dissimilar
metals.
2.0 Oxyfuel:
2.1 introduction:
It uses oxyfuel flame which formed by combustion of the acetylene fuel
with the oxygen gas in the weld torch so that it will be a chemical reaction

heat source. We use this method as it has a very high flame temperature
up to 3500 degree Celsius.
• Carburizing Flame:
Oxygen is turned on, flame immediately changes
into a long white inner area (Feather) surrounded by
a transparent blue envelope is called Carburizing
flame.

• Neutral Flame:
Addition of little more oxygen give a bright whitish
cone surrounded by the transparent blue envelope.
Also, It has a balance of fuel gas and oxygen. It is
used for welding steels, aluminium, copper and cast
iron
• Oxidizing Flame:
If more oxygen is added, the cone becomes darker
and more pointed, while the envelope becomes shorter
and more fierce. it Has the highest flame temperature.
Also, it is used for welding brass and brazing
operation. Figure 4 Oxidizing Flame
3.0 Flux:
3.1 Why we use flux:
When metal is fused, oxygen from the atmosphere and the oxygen from
the torch combine with molten metal, so it may result in defective weld.
Because of that, we may use flux to deoxidize and cleanse the weld metal.

• Borax
5.0 Advantages:
• Simple equipment
• Portable
• Inexpensive
• Easy for maintenance and repair
6.0 Disadvantages:
• Limited power density
6
• Very low welding speed
• High total heat input per unit length
• Large heat affected zone
• Severe distortion
• Not recommended for welding reactive metals such as titanium and
zirconium.
7.0 Application:
Oxy-acetylene flame is used for welding metals, having high melting
temperature such as mild steel, high carbon steel etc. On the other hand,
Oxy-hydrogen flame is used for welding metals having low melting
temperature such as aluminium, lead, magnesium.
