Eskisehir Oxygen Cutting

Eskisehir Oxygen Cutting: Maximum Depth in Cutting Very Thick Steel Sheets

Oxygen cutting (Oxy-Fuel Cutting) is a traditional but highly effective method that maintains its throne in the world of metal cutting, especially when it comes to processing very thick sheet metal and iron plates. Where laser or plasma cutting reaches its limits, oxygen cutting comes into play. This method is based on the principle of cutting ferrous metals (carbon steels) by bringing the metal to the ignition temperature with a preheating flame and then burning it with a jet of pure oxygen. At MKS Çelik, in our facility in Eskişehir, we perform thick cuts required by heavy industry and the construction sector with our high-capacity CNC oxygen cutting machines.

Indispensable Advantages of Oxygen Cutting

Oxygen cutting is preferred especially in sectors such as construction, shipbuilding, and heavy machinery manufacturing:

• Unlimited Thickness: The biggest advantage of oxygen cutting is its ability to cut very thick sheet metal and iron plates. Even steel parts hundreds of millimeters thick can be cut efficiently with this method.
• Economical Solution: As material thickness increases, the unit cost of oxygen cutting becomes more economical compared to other thermal cutting methods.
• High-Quality Chamfering: Oxygen cutting machines are capable of performing bevel cuts (chamfers) necessary for weld preparation, in addition to straight cuts. This is a critical advantage, especially in the assembly of thick iron parts.

MKS Steel: Reliable Oxygen Cutting Service

In the Eskişehir metal processing sector, MKS Steel is a reliable partner in thick sheet metal cutting:

ST37 and ST52 Expertise: We have extensive experience in cutting thick steel and sheet metal materials, especially in ST37 and ST52 grades, which are structural steels.

CNC Control: Our oxygen cutting machines, equipped with modern CNC systems, optimally control cutting speed and gas flow, ensuring high dimensional accuracy and a clean surface even on thick parts.

Cutting and Pressing Integration: We ensure that the cut thick parts are quickly transferred to press brake bending or other pressing (forming) processes if required for assembly.
