Resistance welding is welding parts to be pressed between two electrodes, and through the current use of current flowing through the workpiece and the contact resistance of heat generated by adjacent areas will be heated to melt or its plastic state, so as to form metal-binding methods.
Definition
Oxyacetylene welding (OAW) is a fusion-welding process performed by a high-temperature flame from combustion of acetylene and oxygen. The flame is directed by a welding torch. A filler metal is sometimes added, and pressure is occasionally applied in OAW between the contacting part surfaces.
Advantages of OAW
High industrial applications It's easy to learn The equipment is cheaper than most other types of welding The equipment is more portable than most other types of welding OAW equipment can also be used to "flame-cut" large pieces of material The welder has considerable control over the temperature of the metal, filler-metal deposition rate Clearly view the weld area. Heat can be applied preferentially to the base metal or the filler metal without removing either from the flame envelope No need to electricity. Thin metals with poor fit-up can be welded Small diameter pipes can be welded
Disadvantages of OAW
A wide heat affected zone Slow process Gases are expensive Work-piece thickness is limited up to 6 mm OAW require more finishing if neatness is required. OAW is a manual process thus a very skilled welder is required for the process
