Yes, aluminum plate can be cut with a torch, but the specific type of torch and cutting method will depend on the thickness of the aluminum plate and the desired cut quality.

For thin aluminum plate, typically less than 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) thick, a handheld propane or oxy-acetylene torch can be used for cutting. However, it’s important to use the appropriate cutting tip and technique to avoid overheating and melting the aluminum.

For thicker aluminum plate, a plasma torch or oxy-fuel cutting torch may be more suitable. Plasma cutting uses a high-velocity jet of ionized gas to melt and remove the metal, while oxy-fuel cutting uses a combination of fuel gas and oxygen to create a high-temperature flame for cutting.

Regardless of the torch type, proper safety precautions should always be followed, including wearing appropriate personal protective equipment, ensuring adequate ventilation, and using fire-resistant materials to protect the surrounding area from heat and sparks.

Overall, while it is possible to cut aluminum plate with a torch, the method chosen will depend on factors such as the thickness of the plate, the desired cut quality, and the available equipment and expertise.
