Although arc and gas welding are two separate processes, they often interface with one another. While the former involves burning an electric arc to produce heat that melts metal at the joint to be welded, the latter uses a combustable gas (most often, a combination ofacetylene and oxygen) to burn and create a flame hot enough to melt metal. Also, unlike gas welding, arc welding has the ability to function on multiple ranges of metals and their thicknesses. Although not as common as gas welding these days, the latter is still useful for weld-bracing thin sheets of metals. The two methods can be used in combination, blending arc welding techniques with gas welding to achieve the required result.
