Description
Summary:This project involved cutting of mild steel usmg oxygen flame. Oxygen cutting being reliable in many ways and caused profound change in industrial practices having to do with the shaping of steel, i.e in its general application. Its use is now widespread. Many parts in a wide range of sizes and thickness can only be done with difficulty by other metal-shaping processes. Since the cut products are generally used in the 'as cut' condition, and the process is completely adaptable to welding and mechanical joining operations of all types, oxygen has resulted in more economical construction and greatly increased production. The main purpose of this project is to focus on the two variables necessary for high-quality cutting of mild steel. They are: i) Travel speed of the cutting torch. ii) Cutting oxygen pressure. Since the information and the data concerning the two variables are available in many books, especially books on welding, i.e under gas cutting, this report might also be of relevance for comparison. The detail of the project is discussed in this report.
