Explain the process of oxygen lance cutting.

What will be an ideal response?


The oxygen lance cutting process uses a consumable alloy tube. The tip of the tube is heated to its kindling temperature. A high-pressure oxygen flow is started through the lance. The oxygen reacts with the hot lance tip, releasing sufficient heat to sustain the reaction.


The rod tip is heated up to a red-hot temperature using an oxyfuel torch or electric resistance. Once the oxygen stream is started, it reacts with the lance material, which results in the creation of both a high temperature and heat-releasing reaction.
