Adaptability of Electric and Oxy-Acetylene authorities claim that it is gen-erally admitted that the electric arc pro-duces a higher temperature than the oxy-acetylene flame best suited for welding,the temperature of which is about 6,000deg. Fahr. The higher and more con-centrated temperature of the electric arcmakes it possible to more rapidly reducethe metal to be welded to a molten stateand, consequently, there is less time forheat to be carried away through conduc-tivity of the metal before the weld is ef-.
