Working Principle Of Gas Flame Cutting Machine

Flame cutting machine is the oldest thermal cutting method, and its metal cutting thickness is from 1mm to 1.2m. However, when the thickness of most low-carbon steel plates you need to cut is less than 20mm, other cutting methods should be used.

Flame cutting uses the high temperature generated during the combustion of iron oxide to cut carbon steel. The design of flame cutting torch provides sufficient oxygen for burning iron oxide to ensure good cutting effect.

Flame cutting equipment has low cost and is the only economic and effective means to cut thick metal plates, but it has its shortcomings in thin plate cutting. Compared with plasma, the heat affected zone of flame cutting is much larger and the thermal deformation is larger. In order to cut accurately and effectively, operators need to have superb technology to avoid the thermal deformation of metal plates in time during the cutting process.
