This book is based in part on the course in gas welding and cutting read for welding students at the Bauman Higher Technical School (Moscow). In this edition intented for engineering colleges, the authors have also included some of the research work done by other investigators and material from other manuals and monographs on gas welding and cutting.

Part I of the book deals with the gases employed in flame welding and cutting, and equipment used for their production. Part II discusses the heating of metal by the flame of fuel gases burning in a mixture with oxygen, and the flame characteristics common to all flame welding or cutting processes.

A separate part is devoted to oxy-cutting, which at present is the basic and most commonly used process among the other cutting processes. This part covers the theory, equipment and procedures of oxy-cutting.

Gas welding is likewise treated in a separate part devoted to its theory, equipment, procedures and techniques as applied to various metals and alloys.
Part IV is given over to flame hardening, soft and hard soldering, and hard-facing.
