Flame cutting can be used for almost all metal materials, including carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, etc. For different metal materials, only by appropriately adjusting the cutting parameters (such as the type of fuel gas, oxygen pressure, cutting speed, etc.) can a better cutting effect be achieved. For example, when cutting carbon steel, acetylene is a commonly used fuel gas. When combined with an appropriate oxygen pressure, the cutting process can proceed smoothly. When cutting stainless steel, using propane or other fuel gases and adjusting parameters such as the cutting speed can also achieve effective cutting.
Flame cutting is capable of handling relatively thick metal materials, and its cutting thickness range generally varies from a few millimeters to several hundred millimeters. In heavy industry fields such as shipbuilding and heavy machinery manufacturing, it is often necessary to cut steel plates as thick as dozens of centimeters to manufacture ship hulls, large machinery bases and other components. Flame cutting performs excellently in such thick plate cutting application scenarios.
