Abstract:Recently, plenty of offshore platforms have faced decommissioning. Offshore steel structures covered with rust, mud, and barnacles require suitable cutting methods for their removal. The non-transferred plasma arc is highly efficient in cutting both conductive and non-conductive materials and is expected to play an important role in offshore demolition operations. This work aims to investigate the underwater penetration process of non-transferred plasma arcs on steel structures covered with non-conductive subs… Show more
