High-performance oxy-fuel cutting for thick sheet metal

Thick materials, robust components and cost-effective cutting – oxy-fuel cutting of steel for demanding industrial applications.

Reliable cutting for extremely thick materials

Oxy-fuel cutting

Oxy-fuel cutting is the tried-and-tested cutting process for steel with thicknesses of up to 300 mm. At Albrecht, oxy-fuel cutting is used wherever steel sheets need to be cut economically, safely and with consistent process stability.
The process offers the advantages of a vertical cut, high performance and robustness, making it ideal for heavy components, base plates and load-bearing structures.

Materials and thicknesses

  • Steel up to 100 mm in stock in the following grades: P265GH / SA516Gr.60, P355 / SA516Gr.70, S355, S235
  • Thicker sheets and other materials available on request.

Why you should choose oxy-fuel cutting

Oxy-fuel cutting as a process at Albrecht

In-house processing

In-house processing

Following oxy-fuel cutting, all further processing takes place directly at Albrecht. This includes CNC bending, drilling, countersinking, thread cutting and mechanical machining such as milling or turning. Deburring, weld edge preparation and preparation for subsequent welding processes are also carried out in-house. This results in functional, ready-to-assemble components without any external interfaces.

From oxy-fuel cutting to the finished assembly

Complete manufacturing from a single source

Oxy-fuel cutting is often the basis for solid assemblies, base frames, beams, flanges or reinforcements in plant, machinery and vessel construction. At Albrecht, these are turned into complete assemblies – from cutting, through bending and machining, right through to welding and pickling. All processes are optimally coordinated and ensure high dimensional accuracy and load-bearing capacity.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about oxy-acetylene cutting

What material thicknesses can be cut using oxy-fuel cutting?

Oxy-fuel cutting is particularly suitable for very thick materials. At Albrecht, we cut steel to a thickness of up to approx. 300 mm, depending on the material. This makes the process ideal for heavy components, solid base plates and load-bearing structures.

What is the quality of the cut when using oxy-fuel cutting?

Autogenous cutting produces a robust, functional cut edge that is particularly suitable for thick sheets of metal. For many applications, the quality is sufficient for direct further processing. If necessary, we can carry out any finishing work on the cut edges in-house.

What further processing is possible after oxy-fuel cutting?

All the relevant processes are carried out in-house at Albrecht: edge finishing, drilling, milling, turning, as well as welding and assembly. This results in precision-fit, robust components and complete assemblies, all from a single source.

Which certificates apply to oxy-fuel cutting?

Manufacturing is carried out in accordance with certified standards such as DIN EN ISO 9001, EN 1090, AD 2000 HP0 and the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) 2014/68/EU. We can provide the relevant material and test certificates on request.

When is oxy-fuel cutting the right cutting method?

Oxy-fuel cutting is the right choice when the focus is on very thick sheets, large components and cost-effective cutting. The process really comes into its own, particularly in heavy machinery, plant and vessel construction.
