A PROCESS FOR CUTTING LARGE BLOCKS OF METAL

摘要

A process for cutting very large solidified pools of metal and metallic structures by flame cutting by means of an improved burning bar is described. The cutting is conducted by a hot flame composed of very h ot high pressure oxygen exiting from a burning bar packed with intermingled mild steel and aluminum rods. The hot flame or blast of oxygen melts and mobilizes the molten metal by creating a molten stream and jettisoned molten droplets and oxidized particles.
