A. very ingenious method oi' rapidly cutting through an iron and steel plate lias recently come into use. It is, based upon the fact that when iron ;it a high temperature is acted upon by a, fine jet oi' oxygen the. resulting iron oxide is more fusible than the iron itself and passing away exposes a fresh surface of the metal to the attack of the gas, so that a cut is produced along the line of action. In the early attempts to utilise this method in practice-the metal was first heated 'to the required temperature in an oxyhydrogen flame, and then subjected to tlie action of the oxygen .jet. Now, however, the heating and oxidation ore done at the same time, and the resulting cut is much sharper. In one form of apparatus used for this process the metal is heated by means of an oxyocetvlene (lame, from the centre ol which issues a jet of oxygen. Tn illustration of the rapidity with which the process works, some experiments of M. I/. Gnillot may he cited. For instance, an armour plate Giin. thick and 3Jtt in length was cut in t.v/o in 10 minutes, while manholes could he cut- in, plates 3in. to Hin. in thickness in four to five minutes. In parallel experiments upon the same piece of metal, a groove lJiiu. to 2Aii). deep was cut by the oxygen process in seven minutes, whereas with a pneumatic chisel a groove of about the same length, but only onequarter as deep, took an hour to cut. The new method has also given very satisfactory j'esults in the rapid removal of the heads of rivets when plating lias to be separated, only a few seconds' treatment being necessary for fusing off the head of a rivet iin. in thickness. With regard to the effect of the oxygen upon the metal adjoining the cut, experiments have shown that the depreciation .is but slight.
