1. A process comprising:
mixing propylene gas and oxygen gas to form a propylene-and-oxygen gas mixture, wherein the oxygen gas is supplied from an oxygen supply tank to a burner unit, and wherein the propylene gas is supplied from a gas supply tank to the burner unit; and igniting, by the burner unit, the propylene-and-oxygen mixture as a fuel source for a gas pressure welding apparatus to weld two parts together, wherein a flow ratio of oxygen gas to propylene gas in the propylene-and-oxygen gas mixture is between about 2 and about 3.
