Oxigás

Last updated May 16, 2025, generated by Sumble

What is Oxigás?

Oxigas is a technology commonly associated with oxy-fuel welding and cutting processes. It uses a mixture of oxygen and a fuel gas (such as acetylene, propane, or butane) to create a high-temperature flame capable of melting and joining or cutting metals. Common applications include welding pipes, cutting steel plates, and various metal fabrication tasks.
