12. Gas Cutting

The process consists of preheating the metal to be cut to its ignition (oxidation) temperature, i.e., above 870°C in case of steel.

The preheating is done by oxy- acetylene gas flame, which is supplied from surrounding openings of the cutting torch. When this temperature is attained, a jet of high pressure oxygen from a central opening of the cutting torch is directed on the red hot metal.
