A welding torch is a handheld tool used to produce a high-temperature flame for welding and cutting metals. It is commonly used in gas welding and cutting processes and is connected to fuel gas (such as acetylene) and oxygen cylinders through hoses. The torch has components like valves, a mixing chamber, and a nozzle to control and direct the flame.
Operation:
A welding torch works by mixing fuel gas and oxygen in the correct ratio inside the torch, then igniting the mixture at the nozzle to produce a controlled, high-temperature flame. This flame is directed onto the metal surfaces to melt and fuse them together or cut through them. The operator adjusts the valves to control the flame intensity and temperature for different tasks.
