SURVEY OF UNDERWATER CUTTING OF METALS
This paper presents a summary of the various processes for the underwater cutting of metals presently in use. Basic principals and practices are discussed for the following methods: oxy-fuel gas cutting (with various liquid or gaseous fuels); oxy-arc cutting (with metal, ceramic or carbon electrodes); metal-arc cutting; metal-arc cutting with consumable electrode and water jet; plasma arc cutting; explosive cutting; thermiclance cutting; mechanical cutting. Tabulated information is provided showing the applications, merits and limitations of each process.
