A gas when mixed with oxygen, it produces a very hot and early controllable flame. What is the name of the flame and where is it used?
Answer Details

The Oxy-ethylene flame is a type of flame produced when oxygen is mixed with a gas called ethylene. This mixture results in a flame that is extremely hot and can be easily controlled. Such a flame is often used in industrial applications related to cutting and welding metals. The heat generated by an oxy-ethylene flame is sufficient to melt metals, allowing them to be welded together or cut apart efficiently.
