When I first learned oxy-ace cutting it was on steel. As I understand Al is ever more reactive with oxygen than steel ... it only weathers better because Al oxide is more size compatable with the base metal than "rust" is with steel.
So can I use my "intended for steel" oxy-ace cutting torch to cut aluminum??
Any special precautions or considerations ??
Maybe Al is so much more reactive it would "explode" instead of burning away cleanly??
If I can do this, is the standard oxy-ace eye lens shade adequate?
