Flame Surfacing

Flame surfacing is a metalworking process where controlled flames are used to remove surface imperfections, smooth out welds, or shape metal parts. The technique involves applying precise heat with a flame to melt or soften the surface, allowing surface irregularities, such as weld spatter or rough edges, to be burned away or leveled out. This process improves the appearance and quality of the metal, often used in finishing touches for projects like jewelry, sculptures, or machinery components. It requires skill to control the flame accurately to achieve a clean, uniform surface without damaging the underlying material.
