What is Oxy-fuel cutting?

Oxy-fuel cutting is a thermal cutting process that uses heat from the combustion of fuel gases and oxygen to melt and separate metals. A focused, high-temperature flame is created by mixing oxygen and a fuel gas (typically acetylene, propane, or propylene) and then directed onto the metal. Once the metal reaches its ignition temperature, a jet of pure oxygen is directed at the heated area, rapidly oxidizing the metal and creating a kerf (cut). It is commonly used for cutting steel and other ferrous metals in a variety of industries, including manufacturing, construction, and demolition.
