An oxyacetylene torch can also be used for welding. When welding with an oxyacetylene torch, the flame is used to produce molten metal along the edge of two work pieces.
The oxyacetylene flame is a gas torch that burns a mixture of acetylene and oxygen to produce a high-temperature flame (3,000°C or 5,400°F) that can be used for welding, cutting steel, and other metal working.
