Thermal Cutting:

In the earlier unit various welding processes are discussed. But this is not always joining of metals, frequently we have to cut the metals as well. In this unit we are going to describe the thermal cutting process.

In this unit we are going to explained how the same technique might be used to even cut the metal with the combination of oxygen and various other gases.

Thermal cutting explained a group of cutting processes utilized to sever or remove or gouge metals by high-temperature exothermic reaction of oxygen along the base metal. With some oxidation resistant metals, the reaction might be aided by the utilization of a chemical flux or metal powder.

In this unit, we will discuss several cutting processes. It will include oxyfuel gas cutting, Arc cutting procedure etc. It will also include procedure such like cutting through metal section numerous feet thick with flux cutting, oxygen lance cutting, flame drilling etc. in brief.
