2. Oxy-fuel welding and cutting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxy-fuel_welding_and_cutting

   Oxy-propane torches are usually used for cutting up scrap to save money, as LPG is far cheaper joule for joule than acetylene, although propane does not produce acetylene's very neat cut profile. Propane also finds a place in production, for cutting very large sections. Oxy-acetylene can cut only low- to medium-carbon steels and wrought iron ...

3. Blowpipe (tool) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blowpipe_(tool)

   While blowing air is effective, blowing oxygen produces higher temperatures, and it is also practical to invert the roles of the gasses and blow fuel through air. Contemporary blowtorches and oxy-fuel welding and cutting torches can be considered to be modern developments of the blowpipe. Kit for blowpipe analysis Carl Osterland, Freiberg, c. 1870

4. Tipped tool - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tipped_tool

   A tipped tool is any cutting tool in which the cutting edge consists of a separate piece of material that is brazed, welded, or clamped onto a body made of another material. In the types in which the cutter portion is an indexable part clamped by a screw, the cutters are called inserts (because they are inserted into the tool body).

5. Thermal lance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_lance

   A thermal lance, thermic lance, oxygen lance, or burning bar is a tool that heats and melts steel in the presence of pressurized oxygen to create very high temperatures for cutting. It consists of a long steel tube packed with alloy steel rods, which serve as fuel; these are sometimes mixed with aluminum rods to increase the heat output.

6. Underwater cutting and welding - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underwater_cutting_and_welding

   Oxygen arc cutting and arc welding underwater requires greater skill and stamina than working in a dry and stable environment. The underwater environment imposes several limitations and restrictions on both the equipment and the operator, and the restriction of short bottom times at greater depths for surface-oriented divers makes efficient working important to getting the job done in a ...

7. Shear (sheet metal) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_(sheet_metal)

   A throatless shear is a cutting tool used to make complex straight and curved cuts in sheet metal. The throatless shear takes its name from the fact that the metal can be freely moved around the cutting blade (it does not have a throat down which metal must be fed), allowing great flexibility in shapes that can be cut.
