One the desired shape has been machined, the parts are then hardened by
one or more heat treatments. This adds time, cost and can alter the
finished parts’ dimensions, especially if the heat treatment process is not
properly controlled.
Different Uses:-
Wire cutting machines can also be used to cut other materials such as
tubing, fiber optic cables, and heavy-duty twisted wire or ribbon cabling.
A tube cutting machine is used to cut lengths of copper pipe used in all
kinds of construction applications, including heating, ventilation, and
cooling. Tube cutters can use carbon dioxide based lasers, high-speed
water jets, or plasma oxyfuel flames for cutting copper tubing.
Wire cutting machines also include devices that use wire to cut other
materials. For example, customized foam pieces are often cut using a hot
wire cutting machine. A block of foam is mounted in the machine and a
specific shape is carved out of the block using a series of hot wires. A
foam wire cutting machine uses a taut metal wire which is heated to about
200 degrees Celsius. The heat vaporizes the polystyrene foam without
even coming into contact with the material, making a clean, precise cut.
"Overcut" is formed.
