Can you use a propane torch on aluminum？

While propane torches can generate high temperatures, they are typically not suitable for cutting aluminum. Aluminum has a high melting point, and cutting it requires temperatures much higher than what a propane torch can typically achieve. Propane torches are commonly used for tasks such as soldering, brazing, and light welding, but they are not typically powerful enough to cut through aluminum efficiently.

For cutting aluminum, it’s better to use methods such as oxy-acetylene cutting, plasma cutting, or mechanical sawing with specialized equipment designed for metal cutting. These methods can generate the high temperatures and energy required to melt and remove aluminum efficiently.
