Flame cutting uses oxygen as the auxiliary gas; it enhances efficiency through the energy released by the oxidation of the metal, making it suitable for processing thick steel plates; fusion cutting utilises inert gases such as nitrogen, resulting in smooth, oxidation-free cut edges.

Learn about how laser cutting works, its advantages in terms of precision, material properties, and a cost comparison with plasma and waterjet cutting – a key process in modern CNC manufacturing.
