Plasma cutting of metal

Are you interested in the technology of flame 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

Flame or flame cutting is a thermochemical process that requires a source of intense heat called «preheating» and pure oxygen. The high purity of oxygen is a very dangerous situation and requires special care when choosing the equipment and design of piping systems for its use.

This process can be used to cut / separate various materials with the basic requirement that the formed oxide has a lower melting point than the main material to be cut.

An example of a material that can not be cut is aluminum. Stainless steel also has additives such as chromium and nickel added to prevent oxidation at elevated temperatures.

Thin material requires intensive preheating, since the cutting speed required for good quality is very high. Therefore, high-temperature preheating of the preform to a high temperature is required. Then, pure oxygen is sent to the preheated zone, where separation takes place.

Urgency of application

The flame cutting process can be used to cut sheet metal up to 500 mm thick, however, it is more expedient to use plasma cutting technology to cut a thin sheet.

Supplier — AvekGlob company — offers various metals and alloys at reasonable prices from the manufacturer, the blanks for which can be obtained using flame 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

Parameters of the flame cutting process

The quality of cutting depends on a number of characteristics, the primary design being the burner design and the qualification of the cutter. The number of elements that determine the quality of cutting includes:

choice of cutting tools;

choice of oxygen pressure;

correct mode of preheating;

optimal cutting speed;

type of fuel gas.

Most of these parameters can vary depending on the material and the state of the surface of the cut workpiece. All these elements are fully controlled by the operator.

Supplier — AvekGlob Company — offers to purchase various metals and alloys, blanks for which are obtained by flame 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.
