However, the method of cutting with a thread-like Pantone produces cutting debris, the cut surface is not smooth, and when cutting thick foam, the Pantone tends to bend, and the cut surface does not maintain the desired shape even after cutting. There are problems such as difficulty in becoming Furthermore, when punching with a punching die, thick foam is compressed and punched, so it is difficult to obtain the desired shape on the cut surface, and the cutting die is expensive when punching large foam. There are also equipment problems such as the need for a large press.

The method of the present invention is applied to foams having an expansion ratio of 5 to 120 times. If it is less than 5 times, molten resin will be generated by the hot wire and will stick to the hot wire, significantly reducing the cutting ability.
Eventually, cutting becomes impossible. On the other hand, if the temperature exceeds 120 times, thermal deformation is likely to occur due to contraction of the foam around the hot wire h0 The metal wire used in the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it has a desired temperature; It is desirable to have one that generates heat. Particularly preferred is a nickel-chromium alloy, more preferably a nickel-chromium alloy containing about 70 to 90% nickel and 5 to 25% chromium.

Important requirements in the present invention are the temperature of the metal wire, the cutting speed, and the diameter (thickness) of the metal wire. By carrying out cutting under optimal composite conditions, the foam is cut by a delicate composite phenomenon that not only melts the foam but also burns it out. By setting these conditions, the temperature is high enough that the molten resin at the cut part of the foam does not stick to the metal wire, and the temperature is high enough that the molten resin and foam do not emit flames and burn. You can set the temperature.

In the method of the present invention, the temperature of the metal wire is preferably 400 to 1100°C, because if the temperature is less than 400°C, the metal wire itself may easily break due to the resistance of the foam or may melt. This is because deterioration of the foam adheres to the foam and the cut surface is no longer smooth, and in the case of thick foam, the cut surface becomes curved and difficult to form into the desired shape.

Moreover, if the temperature exceeds 1100° C., the foam may emit flames and begin to burn, or the dimensions of the foam around the metal wire may become irregular.

Here, the temperature of the metal wire refers to the temperature at which the metal wire is in contact with and cutting the foam. Therefore, although the temperature differs depending on the part that is in contact with the foam, the center part that has entered the foam is usually the lowest temperature, and the exposed part is the highest temperature.

With the method of the present invention, the cutting speed is 0.5 to 20 m/see.
It is necessary to forcefully disconnect at a speed of 0,
Below 5 tm/see, the foam will emit flames and become flammable, and above 20 m/sec, the metal wire will easily break.9 In particular, the cutting speed of the metal wire will vary irregularly, making it difficult to make the cut surface smooth. Because it will be.

The diameter of the metal wire is preferably 0.2 to 1.6 mm.
This is because if it is less than 2 stitches, the metal wire is likely to be bent or deteriorated by oxidation due to the foam, making it easy to cut. 1
.. If the number of stitches is 6 or more, the cut surface of the foam will not be smooth.
Problems arise such as it is difficult to achieve accurate cutting dimensions, it is easy to cut if it receives large tension due to contact with the foam, and it is not economical because the current is large.

The reason why the foam is forcibly cut is that by regularly cutting within the above-mentioned cutting speed range, it becomes possible to cut the foam with a smooth cut surface and within a desired dimension.

Example 1 A foam made by cross-linking and foaming (30 times) polyethylene resin with a specific gravity of 0.963 (rectangular parallelepiped size: 310 squares x 310 squares x 35 squares) was cut into a cylinder with a diameter of 300 m and a height of 35 mm. .82m metal wire with 80% nickel and 20% chrome (nickel-chromium alloy), cutting temperature 50
When forcedly cut at 0 to 720℃ (500℃ is the temperature at the midpoint of the generatrix, 720℃ is the temperature at the top and bottom of the generatrix) and a peripheral speed of 2.0w/see, the cut surface was smooth with only one rotation. It was possible to cut into the desired shape of a regular cylinder. The length of the hot wire in this case was 66 crn (the length in contact with the foam was 35 tyn equal to the height), and the current was 10.2 amperes.

Comparative Example 1 In the method of Example 1, only the temperature conditions of the metal wire were set to about 500°C at the center where it enters the foam and about 1150°C at the ends.
