Thermal Controlled Cracking Method(TCCM) has developed for more than 60 years with great success. The research progress of TCCM in the past 60 years was reviewed in two directions, i.e. Premade Trajectory Cutting(PTC) and Non-Premade Trajectory Cutting(NPTC) respectively. For PTC, cutting velocity, trajectory deviation and sectional quality are the main process parameters to be optimized. For NPTC, cutting velocity and sectional quality are the main process parameters to be optimized. The crucial technique ...
