The present invention relates to a method for efficiently cutting metal materials underwater.
従来の切断法は、特願昭58−60814に記載のよう

アークを発生させてその熱エネルギで被切断材を溶融切
断するものであった。しかし。In the conventional cutting method, as described in Japanese Patent Application No. 58-60814, a potential difference is created between the material to be cut and a cutting torch, an arc is generated between the two, and the material is melted and cut using the thermal energy. Ta. but.

断は不可能で1本法の切断対象となる廃棄物の表面には
、使用期間が長ければ長いほど表面にセラミック状の物
質が付着している。For this purpose, the basic cutting condition is that the material to be cut is a conductor.For example, it is impossible to cut non-conductors such as ceramics, and the surface of the waste that is the target of cutting with the single method cannot be used. The longer the period, the more ceramic-like substances will adhere to the surface.
上記従来技術は、被切断材の表面に非導電性物質が付着

被切断材との間にアークが発生しづらく、安定した切断
ができない問題があった。The above conventional technology does not take into consideration the fact that non-conductive substances may adhere to the surface of the material to be cut, and there is a problem in that it is difficult to generate an arc between the plasma torch and the material to be cut, making stable cutting impossible. there were.

の改善が強く望まれている。Conventional methods deal with this problem by mechanically removing the deposits on the surface and then using plasma cutting, but this takes time and requires complicated procedures, resulting in poor work efficiency, so improvements in this approach are strongly desired. It is rare.

ル孔から動作ガスを流出してアークを発生させて、この
熱エネルギと噴出ガスの力で浴融切断するものである。The above object is achieved by using both a transfer type and a non-transfer type plasma jet as a cutting method. - In general, plasma arc cutting is a transfer type, in which a power source is connected between the plasma torch and the material to be cut to create a potential difference, and working gas flows out from the nozzle hole of the torch to generate an arc, and this thermal energy is transferred. It performs bath melt cutting using the force of ejected gas.
熱エネルギが大きいことから厚板の切断に適した方法と
して最近特に、原子炉解体の基本技術として水中切断の
主流となっている。Recently, underwater cutting has become mainstream as a basic technology for nuclear reactor dismantling, especially as it is a method suitable for cutting thick plates because of its large thermal energy.
しかし、プラズマトーチと被切断材の間にアークを発生
させるため、非導電性の付着物がある金属の切断には不
適でめる。However, since an arc is generated between the plasma torch and the material to be cut, it is not suitable for cutting metals that have non-conductive deposits.

を受けない。On the other hand, in non-transfer type plasma jet cutting, an arc is generated between the electrode rod and the nozzle in the plasma torch, and the arc is ejected from the nozzle hole to melt and cut.
I don't receive it.
しかし、移行式に比べて切断能力が劣ることから一般に
はあまり用いられておらず、特に水中切断に用いられた
事例は見られない。However, it is generally not used much because it has inferior cutting ability compared to the transition type, and there are no examples of it being used for underwater cutting.

部が露出するに充分な能力とし、主たる切断?移行式プ
ラズマアークで行なうように動作させる。As mentioned above, non-transfer type plasma jet cutting has inferior cutting ability compared to transition type, so if you try to cut thick plates only with non-transition type, you will need a high-power plasma torch and air source equipment. Furthermore, the cutting speed is slow, resulting in poor work efficiency. Therefore, the non-transfer type plasma jet has sufficient ability to remove the non-conductive film attached to the surface of the material to be cut and expose the inside of the material, and performs the main cutting. Operate as in a transferred plasma arc.

する。- On the other hand, in underwater cutting, when the plasma torch is moved to cut the identified material to be cut, the water depth of the plasma torch changes during cutting depending on the shape of the material to be cut and the configuration of the cutting device. Sometimes. Therefore, water is detected by a method such as water pressure detection, and the cutting conditions (idf

切断することができる。As the gas component, in addition to an inert gas such as argon, hydrogen, nitrogen, air, or a mixed gas thereof may be used. In the non-transfer type plasma torch 2, a DC power supply device 4'f is placed between the electrode rod 6 and the nozzle 7 to generate a non-transfer type plasma jet to remove the surface film of the workpiece 10. In the type plasma torch 3, a DC power supply device 5 is connected between the electrode rod 6 and the material to be cut 10 to generate a transfer type plasma arc, and the material to be cut 1 after the surface film has been removed can be welded and cut. .
