Oxy-Acetylene Welding

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. In oxy-acetylene welding the weld may be formed directly between the two adjoining surfaces, but, more commonly, it is formed by fusing in additional material between the surfaces Of the joint. This material is in the form Of a rod or w1re, and may or may not be of the same composition as the material being welded.
