Raw Materials: Cutting

Power Plant Service (PPS) - Raw Materials

Cutting Services

When high precision is needed to cut stainless steel, alloy steel, and nickel alloys, cold saws and metal band saws are the perfect metal cutting options.

Band saw cutting is one of the most important methods of metal cutting. The process requires using a saw with a long blade consisting of a constant band of sharp metal stretched between two or more wheels. This makes a consistent cutting because of an evenly distributed tooth load.

Cold saw cutting is a sawing method that uses a circular saw to cut metals. This process keeps the material and the cutting blade cold. Cold saws are able to machine the most ferrous and non-ferrous alloys. Other benefits include minimal burr production, fewer sparks, and no dust.

Power Plant Services provides metal cutting services using band saws and cold saws to deliver cost-effective and reliable results. Contact us at RMsales@ppsvcs.com or call 708-345-8600 to inquire our metal cutting services.

PPS Shearing Raw Materials

Shearing

Shearing is an industrial metal cutting process used to cut straight lines on sheet stock.

During the shearing process, cutting blades are forced past each other to fracture the material into separate, smaller pieces. This process produces quality clean cuts and can be repeated rapidly.

Shearing features include the following benefits:

  • Ability to cut straight-line on flat sheet
  • Cost effective and incredibly fast for high volume manufacturing applications
  • Does not create chips
  • Can be done on sheet metals in different diameter sizes

Many forms of metals support shearing, including steel, stainless steel, copper, iron aluminum, and bronze. Power Plant Services provides shearing services that deliver cost-effective and reliable results—and the process is done by professionals with extensive knowledge of the material and its properties.

PPS Water Cutting Raw Materials

Waterjet Cutting

Water jet cutting is a method that pushes high-pressure water and an abrasive substance through a small jet creating a very precise and clean cut.

An important advantage of water jet cutting is its ability to cut metals without raising the material surface temperature and compromising internal structure of the material. Water jet technology offers extremely accurate cuts of complex and intricate parts, efficient use of materials and less compression distortion.

Water jet cutting benefits include the following:

  • Precise edge cutting results in tighter nesting and less scrap.
  • No heat affected zones, mechanical stress, and heat distortion.
  • Clean cuts with high tolerances and ability to cut significantly thicker materials than laser cutting.
  • Dynamic cutting head effectively eliminates kerf.

Power Plant Services is a well-known leading provider of water jet cutting services for a wide range of industries and applications.
