HYDROGEN TORCH
What is a Hydrogen Torch ?
An H2O oxyhydrogen torch, whose gas supply is generated by the electrolysis of water, is also known as hydrogen torch or an H20 torch. It burns hydrogen as the fuel with oxygen (the oxidizer). The result is a high-temperature flame used for cutting, welding and shaping various metals, glass, and certain thermoplastics. H2O torches are most commonly used for soldering and brazing jewelry, but are practical in many industrial applications.

Hydrogen Torch Applications
Common uses for Hydrogen Gas Generator
- In the manufacture and repair of fine jewelry, such as necklaces, rings, bracelets, filigrees, eyeglasses, and other jewelry made of precious metals and gemstones.
- For annealing, softening, or shaping certain metals, usually to increase ductility and reduce internal stresses.
- For shaping and polishing acrylic glass.
- In the glass industry for fire polishing.
- In dental applications.
- In automotive repair, get rid of a seized bolt as an example.
Jewelry making
Industrial and personal applications of the H2O torch in jewelry fabrications are many (e.g., resizing rings, chain repairs, gemstone alterations, fixing damaged prongs and other common soldering tasks.
Annealing
Hydrogen torches are great for annealing metals. When annealing, the metal is heated slowly to a specific temperature and cooled slowly. This process softens the metal, which can be shaped and cut easier.
Medical and Dental Devices
The hydrogen torch can be found in dental and clinical health offices because it uses clean fuel and it won’t contaminate sensitive medical devices. The fine pinpoint flame is perfect for very small items like dental appliances, stents and guide wires.
Plastics
The torch can be used to flame polish edges of plastic sheets.
Other applications include but not limited to:
- Thermocouple repairs and production
- Wax castings
- Electro-mechanical devices
- Transformer soldering where a soldering iron can’t heat the large conductors.

Hydrogen Torch Safety
Safety Using the Torch
Hydrogen torches are capable of producing flames with temperatures as high as (3300°C / 6000°F). Obviously, anything that hot can be very dangerous, so safety is of great importance when operating one of these machines. It is recommended to maintain a distance of at least 20 inches between yourself and the flame at all times.
Filling the Tanks
Be careful when handling the Electrolyte solution as it is very corrosive. Wear protective eyeglasses and gloves whenever handling. the caustic electrolyte and/or boric acid. Should any chemical come in contact with your skin, wash immediately with water. If any solution is spilled on the machine or work area, vinegar can be used to neutralize the solution.
Performing Maintenance
We recommend wearing protective eyeglasses and gloves while cleaning or performing any maintenance tasks on your welder.
