Oxy-fuel cutting, in Vietnam, is often called “Stone Wind Cutting”, is the process of using the heat of the gas flame burning with Oxygen to heat the metal to be cut to the melting temperature. Then, the high-pressure Oxygen stream will blow away the melted metal oxide layer (FeO, Fe2O3, Fe3O4) and expose the unoxidized metal part. This metal layer will continue to burn and create a new oxide layer, which will then also melt and be blown away by the high-pressure Oxygen stream, this process is repeated until cutting is no longer needed.
To carry out the process of heating metal to combustion temperature, heat generated from the reaction between Oxygen (O2) and Acetylene (C2H2) or Gas (LPG) is usually used.
The advantages of this technique include: The cutting equipment is relatively simple and easy to use. The technique is relatively efficient and can cut thick metal plates.
