Can you braze with propane and oxygen?
The only real downside to using Oxy/Propane is that it can’t be used for actual Welding. Oxygen and Propane fuelled kits are however, ideal for Silver Solder, Brazing, Cutting and Heating. So as long as you don’t want to Weld, Oxygen and Propane is a great way to go!
Can you braze with propane gas?
While acetylene gas is always required as the fuel for gas welding, braze welding can be performed with the other fuel gases such as propane, natural gas, propylene, etc., as well as with acetylene.
Is oxygen used for brazing?
For brazing there are generally two equipment options to choose from: oxygen/acetylene or air/acetylene. While alternate fuel gases are available, most contractors still use acetylene.
Can you braze with a small propane torch?
You can use a propane torch to braze most metals you want to join. Propane torches are widely available in your local hardware stores, plumbing supply houses as well as at metalsmith and jewelry supply companies.
Can you braze with just MAPP gas?
It depends on the size of the weldment and the torch. It should be OK for small stuff like brazing on a nut or a tab. Some of the newer “turbo” or “swirl” type torches are quite a bit hotter than the old style.
Can you braze with just acetylene?
Re: Acetylene only for brazing Air/acetylene will likely require more heat input for bronze alloy than silver.
How do you use propane instead of acetylene?
Propane can like acetylene be used for cutting. If you cut with acetylene, you normally put the tip of the inner flame cone on the metal (1mm from the plate surface). If you do the same with propane, you will be waiting for a long time.
Can brazing be done with propane?
Brazing with Propane. Here is the answer to whether you can braze with a propane / air torch. You can but you have to control the environment so that the heat loss to the atmosphere and parts is lower than the heat being put into the braze joint. It is a standard braze alloy that melts over a range of 1250 – 1305 F.
Which is better to torch with acetylene or propane?
Carole Dunn. Big dilemma!
How to braze with a propane torch?
Can You braze with just acetylene?
You can braze just can’t weld with it. Air/Acetylene is not what you want especially a turbo torch. As mentioned it will take way too long to heat to temperature.
