What is one advantage of Oxy-Acetylene (OA) welding compared to other welding methods?
It doesn’t require a filler rod for any metal.
It has a smaller heat-affected zone than TIG welding
The equipment is cheaper and more portable than other welding rigs
It produces the neatest and cleanest weld lines.
What is one possible cause of a backfire during OA welding
Operating the torch at recommended gas pressures.
Overheating the torch tip or having dirt on the seat
Keeping the torch at the correct distance from the workpiece.
Using a clean and tight connection on the tip
What should you always do when shutting down and cleaning up the OA welding setup?
Close the acetylene tank first, then the oxygen tank, and leave the lines pressurized.
Bleed off all pressure from both the oxygen and acetylene lines
