oxy-fuel cutting

Oxy-fuel cutting is a process used to cut through metal by heating it with a flame fueled by a mixture of oxygen and a fuel gas, such as acetylene. When the flame heats the metal to its ignition temperature, a high-pressure stream of pure oxygen is directed at the spot, causing the metal to oxidize and burn away rapidly. This creates a clean cut through the material. The process is commonly used for cutting thick steel and other ferrous metals in industrial and construction settings.
