Steel and Metal Industry
Oxygen is used as a burning medium for the fuel to produce high temperature flame (termed as blue flame) and this process is called as oxy-fuel burning. The required flow of oxygen is decided based on the cutting torch design. These applications require consistent delivery of high purity oxygen at high pressure. The required oxygen pressure depends upon the steel grade type, block thickness (whether billet or bloom or wire) and the cutting cycle time for plants using automated lines with pre-set cutting time cycles.
Key Applications
Cutting
Oxygen and nitrogen are used as assist gases in laser or plasma cutting. They ensure precise cuts, minimal slag, and improved edge quality.
Welding
Nitrogen or oxygen creates a controlled atmosphere for welding. It reduces oxidation, enhances penetration, and improves weld strength.
Brazing
An inert nitrogen atmosphere prevents oxidation during brazing. It produces clean joints and strong metallurgical bonds.
Challenges
Need for consistent delivery of high-purity oxygen
High-pressure oxygen supply requirements for oxy-fuel burning
Variable oxygen flow depending on cutting torch design and steel grade
