Gas cutting machine is used to heat the metal at its ambient temperature, and then to cut off a preheated metal. These machines employ a fuel gas in combination with oxygen to cut material, usually a metal. Gas cutting machines use various gases, such as propylene, propane, acetylene, and natural gas. Moreover, such machines find a wide variety applications in various end-use industries, such as steel processing, automotive, aerospace, and shipping, among few others. The wide range of applications, such as risers, cut rivets, grooving weld joint metal designs, making edges of metal sheets, and many other are increasing the demand for these machines, driving the growth of the gas cutting machine market.
For example, in April 2020, Komatsu Industries launched the new high-performance plasma cutting machine Twister TFP510-3. TFP510-3 is manufactured based on the concepts, High productivity, Easy set-up operation, and User friendly, with stand-alone cutting technology. Oxy-acetylene gas cutting and oxy-acetylene cutting are methods which employ both oxygen and acetylene to weld or cut metal together. It has a unique characteristic of being able to induce both friction and heating with its passing gas. Oxy-acetylene gas cutting is a very popular due to its ease of use, low consumables, and excellent finish.
However, this welding process requires an accurate electric current source as well as suitable welding equipment because it is quite messy. It's important to note that this process is also available in higher voltage versions for use in machines with more advanced electrical systems. Moreover, oxy-acetylene can cut only low- to medium-carbon steels and wrought iron. Growth of the gas cutting machine market is also driven by the proliferating demands from end-use industries. Increase in commercial and personal automotive, global air traffic, scraping of old aircrafts and ships, defense expenditure, and shipping, specifically in countries, such as India, China, Indonesia, Middle East, and the United States.
Owing to these factors, multi-billion dollar industries such as aerospace & defense, automotive, ship building, and metal processing are expected to witness significant growth, which in turn will increase the demand for gas cutting machines, driving the gas cutting machine market in North America and Asia Pacific. For example, in March 2021, Total Oil India Private Limited (TOIPL) launched LPG Cutting Gas in Bangalore, India to highlight the brand’s commitment to innovation and customer safety. It is developed specially for the metal cutting industry including scrappers, fabricators, and metalworking industries.
