Oxy-Acetylene Techniques

  • Chapter
Fundamentals of Welding Skills

Part of the book series: Engineering craft studies series ((ECS))

Abstract

Although the oxy-acetylene processes have been superseded in great measure by modern techniques like M.I.G. welding and plasma-arc cutting, they are still, because of their versatility, used in some industries; car manufacturers, for instance, still use the process and almost every garage and small workshop has its oxy-acetylene welding and cutting equipment.
