Reclamation and Investigation through sawing

Major benefits from reclamation and investigation Substantial cost savings and valuable knowledge can be gained through reclamation and component failure investigation, where large, machined components or fabrications are sectioned using heavy duty band-saw machines at Accurate Cutting Services. Thermally sensitive or heat-treated materials can be worked without producing heat-affected zones, contamination, or the distortion which can be associated with gas-, plasma- or laser-cutting processes. Discontinuous or voided work-pieces, mixtures of insulating and conducting materials, and combinations of metals and non-metals may all be worked simultaneously. Applications This aluminium heat exchanger is being sawn into sections for metallurgical analysis, after failure during pressure testing. The unit is 6000mm long and 1100mm square (although this is not the largest that the company has sectioned). This saw has a 1500mm diameter or square capacity (though with ingenuity the company has managed up to 1700mm).
