Oxyacetylene welding, also known as gas welding, is a process which relies on the combustion of oxygen and acetylene to produce a very hot flame. When these gases are mixed together in the correct proportions, a flame is produced with a temperature that is sufficient to melt steel.
This course will cover the basics of oxyacetylene welding and some best practices that should be followed in order to be safe on the job. We will go over how oxygen and acetylene are used in gas welding, the equipment that makes up a gas welding rig, and the PPE required to maintain a safe welding environment.
