ME 6222: Manufacturing Processes and Systems Prof. J.S. Colton GIT 2009

Oxygen (oxy fuel) cutting (oxy-fuel)

Fuel + oxygen burns away iron oxide Oxygen reacts with atomic iron to form yg iron oxide Process repeats One torch provides the fuel and oxygen Iron is not melted by the flame rather flame, burned (oxidized) away
