Effect of Large Cross-Section Oxygen-Propane Flame Cutting on Microstructure in Heat-Affected Zone

Abstract:

Many metal-manufacturing industries include oxyfuel gas cutting among their manufacturing processes because cutting was often used in metal-cutting processes, specifically in the large castings and forgings and the fabrication of pressure vessels. The oxyfuel gas cutting process uses controlled chemical reactions to remove preheated metal by rapid oxidation in a stream of pure oxygen. Previous research has demonstrated microstructure in heat-affected zone varied depending on the gas used for the combustion as well as the cutting speed (Vc) used during the process. In this research, 34CrNiMo6 steel of 900 mm in thickness and 45 carbon steel of 450 mm in thickness were cut using an oxygen-propane flame cutting process. Then, macroscopic morphology and microstructure test were done to analyze the influence of the thickness of cutting cross-section. The results showed, in general, the width of heat-affected zone increased with the thickness of cutting cross-section. Also, it was demonstrated that heat-affected zone in the bottom and top section was wider than others.
