acetylene is a flammable gas and relies on oxygen to burn. Argon would prevent a flame by displacing oxygen because of it's density in comparison to oxygen.

Can you weld with argon instead of acetylene?
No. Argon is not flammable.
Which gases are used in normal welding process?
Depends on what you think of as normal welding. Gas welding use oxygen-acetylene. MIG/TIG use Argon. MAG, use an argon-something mix. Depending on what materials you are welding, there are some more options tha might be used.
Can argon be stored with oxygen or acetylene?
Argon is an inert gas- it does not react with any other gasses. While fuel gasses (acetylene) and oxygen must be separated during storage due to the fire hazard, there IS no fire hazard from an inert gas. It may be stored with fuel gasses or with oxygen.
Is argon a polar or non-polar molecule?
Argon is a noble gas and exists as single atoms in nature. It is nonpolar.
Why can acetylene torch be used to weld metals together?
Acetylene torches can be used to weld metals together because they have a higher temperature than the metal's melting point.
Can you weld with argon instead of acetylene?
No. Argon is not flammable.
Which gas is use in gas welding?
oxygen and acetylene gas Argon gas is used in MIG and TIG welding
What are 8 gases?
Oxygen Nitrogen Argon Carbon Dioxide Propane Helium Hydrogen Acetylene

Can you use acetylene torch for silfoss?
no
What do industrial gases include?
Industrial gases include acetylene, argon, carbon dioxide, helium, hydrogen, neon, nitrogen, nitrous oxide, and oxygen.
What is one use of argon?
Argon is used to make argon
Which compressed gases are used for welding?
For example argon or helium for TIG welding. Oxi-fuel welding: oxygen and a combustible gas: acetylene, propane, butane, propylene, gasoline, hydrogen, etc.
What happen if you combine carbon and Argon?
Carbon and Argon Becomes CAR together
