about Welding and Cutting Metals Info.
When we talk about cutting and welding processes this
usually refers to as work that is done with very hot flames. It is usually done
by machine shops, construction and small laboratory type situations like torch
soldering or blowing glass.
This is a dangerous area of welding because it creates
fumes, sparks and gases and you have to be careful of hot metal. Cutting is
done with special cutting equipment that can be lasers, plasma cutters or some
welding torches; acetylene torches work well for cutting depending on the
material that needs to be cut.
