Oxy Fuel Cutting Services

Preferred Cutting Method for Heavy Steel Plate

For thick carbon and low-alloy steel plate, oxy fuel cutting remains one of the most economical and reliable processing methods available. Oxy cutting is ideal for material over 2" thick and heavy plate applications where edge quality, cost efficiency and thickness capacity are more important than cutting speed.

Leeco® Steel operates oxy fuel cutting equipment across multiple ISO 9001-certified processing facilities, including high-capacity systems capable of processing plate up to 14" thick with cutting widths up to 240" and lengths up to 878". Our multi-torch cutting capabilities improve efficiency while maintaining consistent quality on carbon, HSLA and alloy steel plate. Whether you need cut-to-size blanks, road plate or complex heavy plate parts, Leeco's oxy fuel cutting services help reduce downstream fabrication time and material waste while ensuring dependable performance for large-scale industrial applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Oxy-fuel cutting is a thermal cutting process that uses oxygen and fuel gas to cut carbon and low-alloy steel plate. It is typically the most economical choice for plate thicker than 2" and is ideal for heavy plate applications where thickness capacity and cost efficiency are more important than cutting speed. Leeco can process material up to 14” thick on oxy machines at various processing facilities.
Leeco Steel oxy-fuel cuts carbon steel plate, HSLA steel plate and alloy steel plate. Because the process relies on oxidation, it is best suited for ferrous materials commonly used in heavy equipment, construction, infrastructure, energy and industrial fabrication applications.
Leeco Steel's nationwide processing network can oxy-fuel cut steel plate up to 14" thick, with cutting widths up to 240" and cutting lengths up to 878". Our facilities utilize multi-torch cutting systems to efficiently produce cut-to-size plate and cut-to-part components.
Oxy-fuel cutting is often preferred for thicker carbon steel plate because it offers exceptional thickness capacity and cost-effective processing of heavy material. While plasma cutting is generally faster on thinner plate, oxy-fuel cutting is often the better solution for thick plate parts and large-scale fabrication projects.
Yes. In addition to oxy-fuel cutting, Leeco Steel offers value-added processing services including drilling, plasma cutting, laser cutting and shot blasting. These capabilities allow customers to receive fabrication-ready parts from a single supplier.
