Comparison of heat effects associated with metal cutting method on ST 37 alloy steel

Abstract

In this study, by examining effects of the heat on the cut surface of material formed by the processes, such as Plasma, Laser, Wire Erosion applied on St 37 alloy steel material, it has been determined that minimum cutting damage occurs in wire erosion process.
