OXY FUEL FLAME CUTTING

Cutting Process Feasible Only On Plain Carbon Steels & Low Alloy Steels Process is by Conversion of iron to iron oxide Steel Locally Heated to Kindling Temperature (800C) by Oxy Fuel Preheating Flame. A jet of oxygen is then impinged on this preheated hot iron. Iron instantaneously converted in to black iron oxide. Exothermic Reaction 2Fe + O2 = FeO + Heat (270 kJ), 3Fe + 2O2 = Fe3O4 + Heat (1100kJ)

OXY FUEL FLAME CUTTING

Cutting Process Kinetic energy of Oxygen jet drives all non metallic iron oxide . Heat Generated in exothermic reaction is self sustaining for preheating the metal ahead to cut When flame with a jet of oxygen at the centre moves close to the material, the process is continues by separating the material along the path of oxygen jet Purity of oxygen required for cutting - 99.5%
