Oxy-fuel cutting is a method for cutting sheet metal and producing parts and blanks from low-carbon, medium-carbon, and low-alloy steels. What is specific about it is that it sufficiently fast and versatile cuts sheets of significant thickness and has an optimal ratio between price and production quality.
Oxy-fuel cutting is a thermal cutting process in which the cut is created by heating and oxidizing the material with a torch, using oxygen and propane. The iron oxides resulting from the heating, which are in a liquid state, are blown out from the cut by the oxygen jet.
Cutting can be done manually or by machine. Thanks to the CNC equipment of oxy-fuel cutting machines, which work according to a preset program, steel sheets can be cut with a straight or contour cut. Parts are cut with a complex shape, satisfactory accuracy, optimal cutting, and low-cost rate. There is the possibility of working with several torches and making a beveled straight cut for subsequent welding work.
