oxyacetylene
Torch gas mixture
Oxyacetylene refers to a mixture of oxygen and acetylene gases, used to produce an extremely hot flame for welding and cutting metal.
An oxyacetylene torch can reach temperatures above 3,000°C, hot enough to melt steel: The welder fired up the oxyacetylene torch.
The term functions as an adjective: oxyacetylene welding, oxyacetylene cutting.
