I have a small set of oxy acetylene torches which need o rings. What are they made of and do they have to be bought at a welding supply or can I get them at a hardware store.

They are not made of anything special, and yes you can go to the hardware store and buy some, BUT if you have a welding store local, I would go there , the last thing you want is your acetylene leaking and starting a fire , ...ALSO they make safety check valves that go on the end of your hoses to keep any flame from traveling up into the hose
