Flux Cutting:

This procedure is primarily intended for cutting stainless steels. The flux is designed to react along oxides of alloying elements, such like nickel and chromium, to generate compounds with melting points near those of iron oxides. Special equipment is required to introduce the flux into the kerf. Along a flux addition, stainless steels might be cut at a consistent linear speed without torch oscillation. Cutting speeds approaching those for equivalent thickness of carbon steel might be attained. The tip sizes shall be larger, and the cutting oxygen flow shall be somewhat greater than for the carbon steels.
