WELDING
BASE OF BODY REPAIR
9-13
1. Carburizing flame (acetylene-rich flame)
This flame has an excess of acetylene or a defi-
ciency of oxygen. The incomplete combustion
gives off a black smoke, and two flame cores can
be seen inside the deformed yellow flame. The
flame itself is large, but the temperature is rela-
tively low, making this flame unsuitable for weld-
ing.
2. Standard flame (neutral-mixture flame)
This flame has approximately equal amounts of
acetylene and oxygen. The length is shorter than
that of the carburizing flame; the flame core is
rounded; and it is clear and bright.
The carbon in the acetylene is burned completely,
resulting in the maximum obtainable temperature.
This is the flame most commonly used for weld-
ing.
3. Peroxide flame (oxygen-rich flame)
This flame has an excess of oxygen or a defi-
ciency of acetylene. The flame core is shorter
and sharper, and the entire flame has a blackish-
purplish color. The combustion is unstable, and
the flame flickers continuously.
.
Notes with regard to gas welding
1. Handle the oxygen and acetylene tanks carefully.
2. Adjust the flame in accordance with the type of
metal being welded.
3. Select a nozzle to match the work to be done.
Avoid overheating and adhesion of foreign matter
(dirt, etc.).
4. The following points are particularly important
when welding mild steel plate.
Melt a sufficient amount of welding rod, but be
careful not to melt the base metal. Use the
same amount of welding rod on both sides.
Use the correct amount of welding rod in
accordance with the melting point of the base
metal.
Avoid welding over places which have been
welded before.
In order to avoid warping, do only the amount
of tack welding that is absolutely required.
