The contact arc metal cutting technique is based on the thermal removal of metallic material using a discontinuous high-current short-circuit arc resulting from a momentary electrical contact between the non-consuming electrode and the workpiece.
The molten workpiece material is expelled from the resulting cut kerf by the kinetic energy of high-pressure water jets along the electrode surface. This method allows for the separation of thick-walled and complex workpiece geometries with a single linear movement of the electrode.
Due to minimal restoring forces, the relatively lightweight CAMC tool can be easily operated remotely using a manipulator.
