Flame Cutting

   
 

Overview on Flame cutting:

  • Flame cutting process is generally used for cutting carbon steel and most metal alloys. In this process a gas flame cuts the sheet. Oxygen and propane are used for producing a controlled flame for cutting.
  • This process can be carried out on combinations of different materials with varying melting points.
  • The thickness of the material is the main factor of consideration that influences which cutting technique is required. Flame cutting is most commonly used for cutting carbon steel and plates with greater thickness.
  • The surface that is cut using the process of flame cutting shows a striated surface.
  • Through this process partial burring occurs and thermal stress can cause structural changes, tempering and deformation of the material.

Safety Points for flame cutting:

Flame cutting is not recommended for thin sheets or detailed cutting, where laser cutting may be more appropriate. Different points are supposed to be considered while working with flame cutting:

  • Safety glasses – Protection against sparks
  • Safety Masks – Protection from toxic gases

At Charles Day steel we follow all safety guidelines, and take care to ensure that all waste is cleared so that you can be sure your flame cutting is happening in a safe and secure environment.
