Pault17 Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 I was making an attempt at doing a faggot weld on a piece of shqre 1/2 inch last night and noticed a really "pretty" green coloured flame above and below the piece after it had been initially fluxed with borax. is this normal or should I run screaming to the woods?

steveh Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 when i see the green flame from the borax i know welding heat is fairly close,thats been my experience. Quote
dablacksmith Posted May 10, 2008 Posted May 10, 2008 i always figured green flames were copper burning off but i could be wrong... Quote
fat pete Posted May 11, 2008 Posted May 11, 2008 I welded in my gasser and I got some strange flame also kinda greenish deep orangeway more orange than the gold glow I normally have Quote
Mikek Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 according to my dad, who is a potter a green flame is a sign of running in reduction (which i always took as being better than an oxidizing flame correct me if i am wrong) Quote
