METHOD FOR SEPARATING PARTS FROM METAL CONSTRUCTION Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: reprocessing of metal constructions into scrap. SUBSTANCE: method involves forming restricting channel along trace where separating of parts from metal construction is performed; laying noninsulated wire within channel; providing space between wire and metal part to be cut; filling channel with electrolyte; connecting wire to negative terminal of current source and metal construction to positive terminal of current source; creating additional stresses acting upon metal by constant or time variable force loadings along restricting trace; cutting metal along this trace. EFFECT: increased efficiency and simplified method. 2 dwg
