Welding torches are pieces of welding equipment which are designed to apply heat in order to weld two or more surfaces together.
Uses and Benefits of Weld Torches
As well as welding a variety of metals, weld torches also have to ability to cut through metal materials, plus they can be used to deposit metal onto a surface - a process which is known as hardfacing. These apparatus are often used in jewelery production, automotive repair, stone working and construction as a safe, effective and low-cost way to weld surfaces together.
Welding Torch Structure
The torch consists of two pressure regulators, along with one or two flexible hoses which are often carried on a wheeled trolley. The apparatus works with an oxygen source and a fuel gas source to enable the torch to generate a flame. Valves are in place for to allow users to safely adjust the levels of gas and oxygen flow on the apparatus.
