Oxygen is the 3rd most abundant chemical element in the Universe. About 0.9% of the sun’s mass is Oxygen.
It is used to reduce the surface tension of the molten metal and droplet sizes and therefore reduces the amount of welding wire needed, and the risk of cracks.
Oxy-fuel processes is used for cutting / welding carbon, alloy steels, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminium, nickel and copper alloys.
Oxygenation of water is good to boost fish-farm performance and sustain live fish during transportation.
To aid respiration of fruit and vegetables, colour retention in red meat and avoid an aerobic conditions in white fish.
