Flame Cutting Services
Flame cutting (also known as oxyfuel cutting) is one of the longest established steel cutting methods. The oxyfuel process was in use as early as 1901 and is a thermal method of cutting unalloyed or low-alloy steel. The surface is heated to ignition temperature with an oxygen/fuel mixed flame, then rapidly oxidized with a higher-pressure oxygen jet, which blows the oxidation products out of the cut (or kerf).
Although other methods of cutting have been developed which can cut with a higher degree of accuracy and finish (Laser, high-definition plasma, waterjet), flame-cutting remains the most cost and time-efficient method of cutting thicker gauges of carbon steel plate.
