Flame cleaning

Mill scale and rust are removed by the reducing effect of the flame and the action of the heat, leaving the surface in a condition suitable for wire brushing and painting.

It is also used as a removal tool for paints, bad welds, burrs, mechanical wear (scraping, cuts, gouges and more) along with other surface imperfections.

The process of flame cleaning is not anything new and does not require any extra equipment than what would be found in a typical metal shop.

The oxy-flame can work on assorted surface qualities and remove some of the hardest to clean substances such as lubricants and grease.

Although the function of cleaning can be thoroughly accomplished, the general aesthetic look is damaged due to the burn marks by the oxy-flame.
