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 2, 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.

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Oxygen-fuel gas cutting process uses an oxygen-fuel gas flame to heat metal. (...) It is possible to burn (rapidly oxidize) iron or steel. The oxy-fuel gas flame raises the temperature of the metal to a cherry red color (1472 to 1832 F.). Then, a high-pressure jet of oxygen is directed at the metal, causing metal to burn (oxidize) and blow away very rapidly. (...) Several different fuel gases may be used in this process. 4, record 3, English, - oxyfuel%20flame
