Abstract
Exothermic cutting is facilitated by using an electrode fabricated from a single elongated strip of metal roll formed into a generally cylindrical elongated electrode shape. Electrodes can be continuously formed to length by randomly coining the strip before roll forming to facilitate breaking of individual electrodes from the roll formed product.
Claims4
An exothermic cutting electrode for use on land or underwater comprising:
- a single elongated strip of metal roll formed into a generally elongated tubular configuration, said electrode having a central, generally straight portion around which at least two turns of the strip of metal are wrapped, the electrode held together by longitudinal lock seam formed as part of the roll forming process said electrode formed with continuous inner longitudinal passages without using a non-compressible filler.
