Oxygen cutting of metal

Are you interested in the technology of oxygen cutting of rolled metal, steels and alloys from the supplier company AvecGlob? Here you will find interesting information on this topic /

The essence of the process

Oxygen cutting is a method of cutting metal blanks using the properties of metals heated to the combustion ignition temperature in industrial oxygen. Cutting with oxygen is carried out by preheating the metal to 1200… 1300 ° C and directing the flow of oxygen against it, which melts the thickness of the billet and separates the metal.

The resulting iron oxides pass into the molten state and are blown out of the cut region. This method is used for cutting products from low- and medium-alloyed carbon steels, usually from 1 to 200… 300 mm thick (however, steel can be cut up to 2000 mm thick).

Urgency of application

Oxygen cutting is used in small-scale production, when from one billet it is required to get several different without resorting to the use of a complex separation tool and equipment.

Supplier — AvekGlob Company — offers at affordable prices from the manufacturer various metals and alloys, blanks for which can be obtained using the oxygen cutting. The assortment and the number of such blanks are completely determined by the customer’s wishes. The supplier guarantees the timely delivery of products to any address specified by the consumer.

Sequence of execution

Cutting oxygen is carried out with a torch — a special welding torch, which is equipped with an additional device for oxygen supply. Cutting with oxygen provides high precision and clean cuts with high performance. In particular, we cut out templates and stencils,

Several working heads with cutters can be used for simultaneous cutting of several blanks. Cutting with oxygen can be automated using photoelectric devices.

Additional Features

A variety of oxygen cutting is cutting with oxygen flow, which is used to separate especially strong metals (high-chromium and chromium-nickel steels), as well as for cast iron and aluminum alloys. In this case, the process can be facilitated by blowing the powdered fluxes into the cutting zone along with the oxygen. In contrast to the separation by oxygen cutting, in which the flow of oxygen is almost perpendicular to the surface of the metal, in this case the flow is directed at a small angle (almost parallel) to the surface of the metal.

Oxygen cutting is widely used in engineering, shipbuilding, ferrous and non-ferrous metallurgy and construction.

Supplier — AvekGlob Company — offers to purchase various metals and alloys, blanks for which are obtained with the help of oxygen cutting. The quantity, accuracy and dimensions of the blanks are determined by the customer’s wishes. Products can be bought at a price formed on the basis of European and world standards of production. Implementation is possible in bulk and retail, for regular customers, a flexible system of discounts operates.
