MODE OF OPERATION:A fuel gas and oxidant gas are mixed together then fed
through a nozzle and burnt.
The nozzle is attached to a blowpipe which the welder
manipulates to melt the edges of the workpiece and so
form a weld pool.
Filler metal (in the form of rods) is added as required by
the welder
The weld pool is protected from atmospheric contamination
by the burnt gas products and can be made mildly oxidising
or reducing.
