Hmm,

In general, I though gas welding produced a weld less likely to have
brittle areas in adjacent "parent" materials, or the weld itself.

In othjer words, due to the slow heat cycle of gas, the process is self
annealing, but with arc, due to the quick heat cycle, the welds tend to
end up brittle?

I'm not an expert by any means, and am looking forward to learning
something :)

take care,

Steve
