It is also known as oxy acetylene flame it is of temp of 3700 degree celcius.

A weld is done so it stays welded and intact without undergoing oxidation, leading to failure. Therefore a protective coating of inert gas (which is usually CO2 or Argon) is used, INEVITABLY, or else the welding is either underwater or in a vacuum. Hence, I Believe [C] should be the right answer.

But on the other hand, argon welding is contain argon gas.

No, the Correct answer is "c".

I think that when oxygen and acetylene are proper to welding than why to add extra argon gas, it's costly.

Biku said:   7 years ago
No, D is the right answer.

Oxygen react with acetylne and forms diff types of flame which is at very high temp.

Shwetha said:   7 years ago
Because oxygen reacts with acetylene in presence high temperature and it helps easy to welding.

Chaitanya said:   7 years ago
Carbon dioxide, Argon and helium gases are also used in welding. They act as shielding gases and prevent oxidation of the molten pool.

Ansaf A Malik said:   6 years ago
Argon also used for welding.

So the correct option is C.
