Excerpt from Methods of Welding Metals The welding of brass, copper, and some other metals, is im practicable by the old hand method since copper would need to be raised to a very high temperature as compared with iron, and it is then.high1y oxidizable and liable to form a scale difficult to treat by any flux. It also passes quickly from the solid state to the molten state and is brittle near the welding temperature. With brass, it is difficult to avoid volatilization of the zinc before the Oopper constituent has been raised to the necessary temperature, and, furthermore, the alloy becomes very brittle near the welding temperature. Because of these facts such metals and alloys have been.united by brazing or soldering, Operations requiring considerable skill, and are expensive in the matter of solder, fluxes, heating appliances and labor charges.

Excerpt from A Text Book on Welding and Cutting Metals The oxy-acetylene welding and cutting torch has become so popular in the last few years, that almost every issue of the trade papers in any branch of work contains interesting accounts of new successes in the use of this powerful tool. The first application of the process, to commercial use, dates back to 1903, and its rapid growth in popularity is due to the ease and economy with which its intense heat 15 applied to any of the metal trades, to join two pieces by welding, or separate them by cutting without the stroke of a hammer. A notable example of the saving that may be effected by using this process is in the event of repairing a broken loco motive cylinder shown in Fig. 1. This cylinder had a piece broken out of the wall including a portion of the flange. Previous attempts to weld this piece in place by other methods had proven disastrous, and resulted in making the fracture larger. The oxy-acetylene process was then 'brought into use, and in less than a day's time a new piece was welded in as shown in Fig., 2. The cylinder was rebored, drilled, and the job finished without removing it from the locomotive. A great sawing in this case is credited to the fact that the loco motive was put back into service in a comparatively short time, and the repairs were made without dismantling. The durability of this work 1s illustrated in fact that this cylinder was welded July loth, 1910, and is still in successful operation.
