L'oxycoupage au chalumeau est [...] devenu un véritable procédé d'usinage. Il procure des faces de coupe qui, dans de nombreux cas, ne nécessitent pas d'être retouchées. Dans les industries qui traitent de grandes surfaces de tôle, telles que la construction navale, les machines d'oxycoupage sont de véritables machines-outils incorporées dans la chaîne de fabrication. 2, record 4, French, - coupage%20au%20chalumeau

Oxycoupage des aciers au chalumeau. La flamme de chauffe est produite par la combustion d'un mélange d'oxygène et de gaz combustible. L'acétylène est concurrencé, dans ce domaine, par les hydrocarbures naturels tels que le propane et le méthane. [...] Un chalumeau coupeur comporte les organes essentiels d'un chalumeau soudeur et possède, en plus, une tubulure d'oxygène de coupe munie d'un robinet de commande.
