Sancut®

It supports the flame during the preheating stage, bringing the carbon steel to incandescence, thus fueling an exothermic reaction between the carbon contained in the steel and Oxygen. However, the fuel gas also has a fundamental role in the type of operation and the economy of the process. Depending on the type of cut to be performed, it is possible to choose the most suitable fuel gas.

For example, when a short and complex cut needs to be made, the fuel gas that performs best is acetylene, as it allows for a higher piercing speed and lower oxygen consumption.

On the other hand, when the cuts need to be long, it is better to use cheaper gases even if the piercing time is longer; this is offset over the duration of the entire cut.

Nippon Gases boasts special products in its range for oxy-fuel cutting technology.
