Lesson 8.10 Oxyfuel Cutting

1

Oxyfuel, better known as Oxyacetylene, is the processes in which Oxygen and Fuel are combined to make a flame.

1

The two main types of fuel used include Acetylene and Oxygen.

1

When storing cylinders, they should be held upright and chained down.

1

When starting the fuel lines, you should open the Acetylene FULLY and Oxygen a QUARTER turn.

1

When starting the fuel lines, you should open the Acetylene 15 psig.

1

Red = Oxygen

1

Red = Acetylene

1

Oxygen First and Acetylene Second.

1

If you have a Carburizing Flame, you have too much Oxygen in the mix causing the tempautre to be too low.

1

Neutral Flame is the best choice and a prefect mixture of both fuels.

1

Oxidizing Flame does not have enough oxygen caushing the flime to make too much noise and high temperatures.

1

Before using the cutting torch, you should not check the cutting tip for slag or problems.

1

When making a cut, you should just start the flame full force before pre-heating the surface.

1

The cutting torch should be held at a 90 degree angle

1

If you are moving too fast, you will have slag build up on the metal.

If you apply to much pressure to a cut, you will not cut all the way throught the material.
