What Does the Oxyfuel Cutting Process Involve?
Oxyfuel cutting is a combustion process using oxygen or a fuel gas flame. The heating flame warms up the material to its ignition temperature. Next, an oxygen jet of at least 99.5 percent purity is blown onto the heated spot, oxidizing the metal. Burning metal immediately turns to liquid iron oxide. This oxygen jet is the origin of the term “flame cutting.”
The torch is then moved, and a narrow cutting slot, commonly called a kerf, is created. The slag is removed from the kerf. The cut’s quality depends on the material’s surface condition, cut velocity and thickness.
All low-alloy steel with a material thickness of as much as several inches can be cut using this process. Despite the growing prominence of other cutting processes such as plasma cutting and laser cutting, oxyfuel flame cutting remains a highly economical process. When it comes to cutting heavy material thicknesses up to 35 inches (900 millimeters), oxyfuel flame cutting simply is unrivaled as a cutting process.
Oxyfuel cutting ensures reliable hole piercing and high cut quality. Component production will be at their finished sizes without any need for further processing. For weld seam preparations, V, Y, X and K bevels can be produced.
