Question

Compared to arc welding, which of the following statements are true about gas welding?

Select the 2 answer options that apply.


Slower than arc welding
Easier to control than arc welding
Faster than arc welding
Harder to control than arc welding

Answer 1

Answer: The two statements that apply to gas welding as compared to arc welding are:

1.Slower than arc welding

2.Easier to control than arc welding

Explanation: Gas welding is a slower process than arc welding because it requires heating the metal to be welded to a high temperature before the welding process can begin.

However, it is easier to control than arc welding because the welder can adjust the heat and flame of the gas torch to achieve the desired results. In contrast, arc welding requires more skill and practice to control the electric arc and produce a good weld.
