The cryogenic cutting system enhances underwater structural cutting by using extremely low temperatures to freeze materials, making them brittle and easier to cut. This method increases cutting efficiency, reduces energy consumption, and minimizes tool wear, offering a cost-effective and precise alternative to traditional cutting methods.
Underwater structural cutting is expensive and time-consuming, posing significant challenges for construction and engineering firms, manufacturing companies, the oil and gas industry, and marine salvage and decommissioning companies.
Cryogenic cutting technology employs extremely low temperatures to freeze materials, increasing their brittleness and ease of cutting. This method reduces heat-affected zones, minimizes material distortion, and improves cutting precision, outperforming traditional cutting techniques.
A cutting system with a cryogenic cutting head positions nozzle tips close to the cutting surface, forming a cutting zone shielded from water. This system uses cryogenic temperatures to freeze materials, making them brittle and easier to cut, significantly enhancing cutting efficiency and precision.
