3.1.3 Cutting
Rolled materials before being laid off or worked, must be clean, free
from sharp kinks, bends or twists and straight within the tolerances
allowed by the Indian Standard Specification IS:1852 - Specification for
rolling and cutting tolerance for hot-rolled steel products. If straightening is
necessary, it may be done by mechanical means or by the application of
a limited amount of localized heat. The temperature of heated areas, as
measured by approved methods, shall not exceed 600 Deg. C.
Cutting shall be effected by shearing, cropping or sawing. Use of a
mechanically controlled gas cutting torch may be permitted for mild
steel only. Gas cutting of high tensile steel may also be permitted provided
special care is taken to leave sufficient metal to be removed by machining,
so that all metal that has been hardened by flame is removed. Gas cutting
without a mechanically controlled torch may be permitted if special care is
taken and done under expert hand, subject to the approval of the Engineer.
