Gaasikeevituses

Gaasikeevituses, also known as gas welding, is a fusion welding process that utilizes a gas flame as the heat source. The flame is typically produced by the combustion of a fuel gas, such as acetylene, and an oxidant, usually oxygen. A filler metal may be used to add material to the joint and form a molten pool that solidifies to create a strong bond. The torch used in gas welding allows for precise control of the flame's temperature and size, enabling the welding of a wide range of metals and thicknesses. The process is versatile and can be used for joining, cutting, brazing, and heating metals. Historically, gas welding was one of the earliest welding techniques developed, predating electric arc welding. While it has been largely replaced by more efficient and automated welding methods for industrial applications, it remains relevant for certain niche uses, repairs, and in artistic metalwork due to its portability and simplicity. The skill of the welder is crucial in gas welding, as they must manage the flame, filler rod, and molten pool simultaneously to achieve a sound weld.
