Welding welding was invented in 1893, and around that time another process, oxyfuel welding, became well established. Acetylene was discovered in 1836 by Edmund Davy, but its use was not practical in welding until about 1900, when a suitable torch was developed. At first, oxyfuel welding was one of the more popular welding methods due to its portability and relatively low cost. As the 20th century progressed, however, it fell out of favor for industrial applications. It was largely replaced with arc welding, as advances in metal coverings (known as flux) were made. Flux covering the electrode primarily shields the base
Kuwait Oxygen And Acetylene Company Arab Emirates by establishing Arabian Industrial Gases Co.(AIGCO) in Sharjah. A recent addition to the group in Kuwait is PWT (International), a contracting company formed in partnership with PWT SpA of Italy, in the field of automatic pipe welding technology. As the requirements of local economies grew, a number of ancillary trading companies and diversifications were established in both Kuwait and United Arab Emirates. Kuwait Oxygen And Acetylene Company Kuwait Oxygen and Acetylene Company (KOAC) was founded in 1953 by the late Salim Al-Huneidi to manufacture oxygen and acetylene. It was the first industrial gas manufacturing plant in the Persian
