The operation of machine shears involves two primary components the upper blade and the lower blade
. The upper blade (or moving blade) applies a downward force, effectively compressing the material against the lower, stationary blade. When the force exceeds the material's shear strength, it causes the material to fracture along the line of cut. The angle of the blades, the speed of the cut, and the type of material being sheared are crucial factors that influence the quality of the cut and the finish of the edges.Steel pipelines also offer excellent corrosion resistance when treated and coated properly. By applying protective layers, such as galvanization or epoxy coatings, the lifespan of steel pipelines is extended significantly, reducing maintenance costs. These coatings protect the steel from corrosive substances, whether those are chemicals in a processing plant or saltwater in coastal regions.
