In Oxyfuel cutting fuel gases and oxygen are used to cut sheet steel. Oxy-fuel cutting is a chemical reaction between pure oxygen and steel to form iron oxide. Only metals whose oxides have a lower melting point than the base metal itself can be cut with this process. Hence, only low carbon steel and some low alloys meet the above condition and can be cut effectively with the Oxy-fuel process. It can be best used for thickness of around 40 mm.
