Oxy-fuel (autogenous) welding

Oxy-fuel (gas) welding training: master this flexible process for aluminium and stainless steel, ideal for repairs and assembly, with intensive hands-on practice.

Good oxy-fuel welders are in high demand!

WHAT DOES THIS OXY-FUEL WELDING TRAINING COVER?

Oxy-fuel welding is an art that requires mastering a very specific process.

In practice, the oxy-fuel welding technique is widely used for welding aluminium or stainless steel.

In oxy-fuel welding, workpieces are fused together by burning a combustible gas, acetylene, with oxygen.

That is why oxy-fuel welding is also called gas welding or oxy-acetylene welding.

Thanks to the flexibility of the system, oxy-fuel welding is mainly used for pipe repairs, assembly or hard-to-reach places.
