Oxygen Flux-Cutting

Oxygen Flux-cutting has been developed for cutting materials that are difficult oxygen cutting. These include iron, alloy steel, nonferrous metals, and other oxygen-Flux is very different from conventional oxygen cutting that, in addition HEATING flame cutting jet of oxygen in the cutting zone is fed powdered flux which provides the cutting process due to thermal, chemical and abrasion actions.

TABLE. The composition of the flux cutting of various materials

The material being cut	The composition of the flux
High-grade chromium and chromium-nickel steel	Iron powder (100%)
	Quartz sand (100%)
	Dolomitic limestone (100%)
	Two carbon sodium (98-99%), calcium, phosphorous (1-2%)
Cast iron	Iron powder (100%)
	Quartz sand (100%)
	Dolomitic limestone (100%)
Non-ferrous metals, refractories, concrete	Iron powder (35-90%), aluminum powder (10-65%)
	Iron powder (50-55%), aluminum powder (20-40%), sodium nitrate (5.30%)

In recent years, in connection with the development of oxygen-plasma cutting Flux cutting is of limited use. The main area of ​​its use - in metallurgy and heavy machinery for cutting the profits of casting, cutting slabs and blooms in the cold, cutting from hot ingot dimensional pieces, etc
