Definition

Ships and marine structures are made of thousands of welded and assembled members, which are made of ship steel. The technological process of making steel plates and profiles into hull members is called hull steel processing, and cutting technology of steel is also a part of hull steel processing, including mechanical cutting, flame cutting (gas cutting), plasma cutting, and laser cutting. With the development of hull construction technology, the processing technology of hull members tends to the direction of highly efficient processing equipment, numerical control, and operation assembly-line (Liu and Wang 2011).

Mechanical Cutting

Mechanical cutting refers to the process of applying to the material a mechanical cutting force exceeding the ultimate strength of the material, which causes the extrusion and the fracture separation of the material. Helical sword square shears and pressure shearing machines are the two main kinds of machines for cutting straight edge components...
