Cutting Problem
you should investigate the gasoline fed cutting torch-I do not remeber the name of the manufacturer but you should be able to find it on the WWW ■
Cutting Round Bar
I agree with the before mentioned solution of the petrolance.
I have seen demonstrations on this machine. And I can say it really goes hard.
It has been used @ the comalco research centre in melbourne, and is currently a topic of interest in the six sigma circles.
I have also heard of the adaption of the bars you are talking about..the joining of them has been trialled with threads being formed in the ends and then to overcome the current loss through the connection the material to fill the gaps between the threads is mercury.
does this help?? ■
Re: 125 Mm. Diameter Round Bar Cutting
DEAR SIR
YOU CAN USE AIRPLASMA CUTTING MACHINE FOR THS OPERATION CUTTING TIME WILL NOT BE MORE THAN 1 MINUTE AND SURFACE FINISH WILL BE VERY GOOD.FOR MORE INFORMATION YOU CAN CONTACT UNDERSIGNED

125 mm. diameter round bar cutting
We are in the process of manufacturing Auminium, and due to the process requirement, 125 mm Mild steel round bars are use to hang the anodes in the pot shells. After some operating cycles, due to bath attack, these round bars develop neck by reducing the diameter, and has to be replaced by cutting them and welding a new piece.
We have been cutting them by oxy-acetylene cutting torch, which perform the job, but the surface finish is very poor. The surface finish is a important criteria, as we use friction welding to weld a new piece in place of the removed damaged one.
The cutting of these damaged round bar is performed in vertical position only.
Can some one suggest a methode, which can be:
- Economical
- Environmental Friendly
- Give smooth surface finish
- Perform the job within 2 minutes time cycle.
- Does not require much space, avavilable space is 2 meters X 2 meters
- It may not be feasible to change the orientation and cut the pieces horizontally.
The material composition of the round bars being cut are as follows:
*ANODE ROD REPAIR - STUB *CONSUMABLES *STUB, ROUND BAR, HOT ROLLED
STRUCTURAL STEEL TO GENERAL REQ-UIREMENTS OF ASTM A36, BS 4360 GRADE
R43A, ISO630, GRADE FE42A WITH FOLLOWING SPEC: DIA 125MM +-1MM, OUT OF
ROUND +- 1.5 MAX, WEIGHT TOLERANCE 96.4 KG/M +-2.5%, LENGTH 3 METRE
EACH STUB, TYPICAL CHEMICAL ANALYSIS (AVERAGE) CARBON 0.16%, MANGANESE
0.66%, PHOSPHORUS 0.019%~ SULPHUR 0.02%~ SILICON 0.2%. ■
