Capability of (OXY-liquefied petroleum GAS)‎ flame technique to produce engineering components of low carbon steel

Abstract EN

In this research, OXY–LPG gas flame through Robotic cutting machine was used.

Many experiments had been done in order to achieve proper processing conditions for clean cut.

The main parameters control the cutting process are LPG and Oxygen pressures, torch speed, the choice of nozzle and the gap between the flame and the piece.

Samples of carbon steel were used with thicknesses range (25–35) mm under different process conditions to produce clean cut (kerf) within (2) mm width in order to apply programs capable of producing spur gear shapes and racks.

The attempts succeeded only in producing spur gear with clean cut.

The ability of torch to move in a circle of diameter around 2000mm which gives high maneuvering to produce large shapes under the conditions were mentioned in this research, which is out of the capability of typical production machines.
