Oxygen cutting, also known as oxy-fuel cutting or oxy-acetylene cutting, is a thermal cutting process used to sever or shape metals. It utilizes a combination of oxygen and a fuel gas, such as acetylene, propane, or natural gas, to generate a high-temperature flame. This flame is directed onto the metal workpiece, causing it to rapidly oxidize and melt, thereby creating a cut.
Applications: Oxygen cutting finds extensive applications across various industries, including:
Metal Fabrication: Cutting and shaping metal sheets, plates, and structural components.
Shipbuilding: Fabrication of ship hulls, decks, and structural elements.
Construction: Cutting steel beams, columns, and other structural members on construction sites.
Automotive: Fabrication of vehicle chassis, body panels, and other metal components.
Demolition: Cutting through metal structures during demolition operations.
