Gas cutting – robust and cost-effective cutting of thick materials

At Bergs Mekaniska we offer gas cutting of plate and steel with high accuracy and reliability. Gas cutting is a proven method for cutting heavy and thick materials, especially common in heavy industry and construction where demands on durability and cost-efficiency are high.

We have long experience delivering gas cut components to customers in the automotive industry, construction, mining, contracting and manufacturing.

Advantages of gas cutting:

  • Handles very thick materials

  • Cost-effective for larger series

  • Robust and well-proven technology

  • Ideal for carbon steel and heavy plate

  • Suitable for rough cutting prior to further machining

When is gas cutting suitable?

Oxy-fuel cutting is particularly well suited for cutting carbon steel up to several hundred millimetres in thickness, where other methods such as laser or waterjet are not practical or cost-effective. It is an efficient choice both for rough contours and for preparations prior to CNC machining.

We always work with high quality and careful inspection – whether it’s single parts or larger series. Contact us today to get help choosing the right cutting method for your project.

Questions and answers about gas cutting

Here you’ll find answers to the most common questions about gas cutting at Bergs Mekaniska.

Gas cutting is a method where a mixture of gases (often acetylene and oxygen) is used to heat and cut through metal, mainly carbon steel. It is a proven technique for thick materials.

We mainly gas cut carbon steel, which is best suited for this method. Stainless steel and aluminium are better cut with other techniques such as laser or waterjet.

Gas cutting can handle very thick materials – often up to 200 mm or more depending on the material and requirements.

Laser cutting is faster and more precise for thinner materials, while gas cutting is best for thick plates and rough cuts where high heat input is not a problem.

Yes, gas cutting is a cost-effective option for thick materials and larger series, especially in carbon steel where other techniques are more expensive or don’t work as well.

For rough cuts, some deburring or machining may be required, but this depends on the cut quality and the requirements of the final product.

Since gas cutting is a thermal process, a heat-affected zone (HAZ) is formed. This is normal for the method but something to take into account for subsequent machining.

Absolutely! We are happy to guide you between gas cutting, laser cutting, plasma cutting and waterjet cutting depending on the material, thickness and precision requirements.
