This set of articles contains information about cutting of metals using different kinds of arc welding processes.
This article starts with an overview of oxy-fuel cutting overview, and proceeds to explain in detail about the oxy-acetylene cutting process. Oxy-Fuel Cutting Overview When steel is exposed to high temperatures of the order of 1600°F (871°C), it gets oxidized very fast by the oxygen. Steel gets oxidized by oxygen at room temperatures too, but … Read more
Plasma arc cutting works on the same basic principles as the plasma arc welding. A column of hot ionized plasma issues from a constricting nozzle at a high velocity, and melts the base metal. It then removes molten metal to produce a kerf. In this article, we shall see in brief about the various components … Read more
