WELD
IT WITH BROWN'S GAS!
•
glass
Brown's Gas
works great to weld glass
•
quartz
Brown's Gas
works very well on quartz, actually better than
anything I've seen. Quartz requires very high
energies to melt it. Anyone working with quartz
should look into this gas. This would be a low
cost alternative to the traditional use of
liquid hydrogen and oxygen.
A company I know
in Colorado uses $100,000 worth of liquid
hydrogen and oxygen a month to make quartzware.
With Brown's Gas the cost of the fuel would be
cut by at least 75% and the storage of pure
water is a lot easier than the cyrogenic
temperatures of liquid hydrogen and oxygen.
Further, there would be no transportation danger
(of the fuel). And Brown's Gas has up to 3.8
times more energy potential than conventional
di-atomic gas, so you get more work done with a
smaller flame.
•
cast iron
A welding torch
(#3 tip) was able to make a nice puddle and
easily welded cast iron. I was just melting it
together with no flux of any kind using cast
iron welding rod, using the puddle method. I
then took the glowing cast iron that I'd just
welded and DUMPED it into water (room
temperature). It DID NOT BREAK. After it had
cooled down, I broke it to look at the weld; it
looked perfect! I couldn't see a difference
between crystal structure of the weld and the
'parent' metal.
•
copper
The Brown's Gas
easily welds copper, using plain copper rod, no
flux. I just used the "puddle" method. Copper
sheds it's heat so quickly though that you need
a fairly good sized flame, and/or insulate the
areas of the copper that you are not actually
welding. The surface of the copper turns black
(copper di-oxide) but otherwise seems great!
Di-oxide brushes off.
•
aluminum
I have gotten
excellent welds with aluminum, using the type of
rod that has the flux inside it. Again, the
Brown's Gas provides so much energy in a
pin-point fashion that welding aluminum is
easier than using oxy./acet.
