Steel, concrete, whatever, it can be cut:

Abrasive saw
Plasma cutter
Oxy/acetylene torch
Air/arc gouging
Thermal lance

The latter is very simple and can melt through very thick steel, concrete and whatnot. Takes a bit of time but is used to cut very thick steel (feet). It requires a lot of oxygen but the rest is straightforward.

These pieces of a ship engine crankshaft were cut with oxygen/acetylene torches, back in the day.
