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.
