Oxyacetylene Welding (OAW)

This document discusses oxyacetylene welding (OAW) and stud welding (SW). For OAW, it describes the equipment, filler metals, advantages of being simple and portable but slow, and potential discontinuities from oxidation or incomplete fusion. For SW, it outlines the components, welding cycle, use of studs and fasteners, advantages of being simple and fast but needing a clean surface, and limitations including equipment malfunctions or incomplete fusion.
