Oxy-fuel Cutting

Oxy-fuel cutting – also known as flame cutting – is a combustion process using oxygen or a fuel gas flame. The flame warms the steel to its ignition temperature and an oxygen jet is blown onto the heated spot oxidizing the metal, turning it into liquid iron oxide.

Oxy-fuel plate cutting is an economical process used to cut low and mild alloy steels and can be performed with weld preparations. Oxy-fuel is the only way to cut thick steel, but thanks to CNC technology, oxy-fuel cutting can now also be used for high precision, high quality cutting on thinner steel plates.

 

Oxy-fuel Cutting Features

  • High heat input
  • Slower cutting speed
  • Wide range of material
  • Lower cost than laser cutting
  • Straight edge quality and high accuracy

 

CNC Plasma Cutting

Plasma cutting is performed by releasing gas at high speeds from a plasma torch where an electrical current is applied to turn gas into plasma arc. The plasma is used to pierce the steel and cut.

 

CNC Plasma Cutting Features

  • Medium heat input
  • Superior cutting speed
  • Wide range of material
