Oxy-Fuel cutting is a thermal cutting process utilizing oxygen and fuel gases to cut through metals such as mild steel. In this process, the torch heats the steel to its ignition temperature, after which oxygen is directed to the cutting point, burning it into a molten metal. A stream of gas blows the molten metal away from the work area, resulting in a clean cut.
