ABSTRACT:
A thermochemical scarfing apparatus is disclosed which allows a greater diagonal standoff distance from the metal workpiece during preheating. The operating steps of the apparatus includes preheating the end of the metal workpiece, and then scarfing the workpiece by directing a scarfing oxygen stream onto the workpiece at an acute angle and while moving the workpiece past the oxygen outlet port. The preheating step includes generating a high speed stream of oxidizing gas and a concentric stream of fuel gas coaxially about the central stream, so that the momentum of the central stream is maintained. As a result, the effective flame heating distance may be extended, and the manifold and head assembly which supports the preheating gas nozzles may be moved back from the workpiece a significant standoff distance so as to avoid damage from dislodged molten metal slag.
