With the cost of Plasma Cutter on the decline and with smaller-sized, portable machines flooding the market, it may be time to take a serious look at plasma for your cutting applications. The benefits of plasma cutting include ease of use, higher quality cuts and faster travel speeds.
Structural and plate steel are the bread and butter of this sector. That can also be said for multiple other techniques for ferrous cutting such as abrasive water jet, laser, saw, abrasive wheel and oxy/fuel cutting. However, plasma cutting has distinct advantages in many applications. This post will explain what the advantages are, and when to exploit them for best part making efficiency.
In simplest terms, plasma cutting is a process that uses a high velocity jet of ionized gas that is delivered from a constricting orifice. The high velocity ionized gas, that is, the plasma, conducts electricity from the torch of the plasma cutter to the work piece. The plasma heats the work piece, melting the material. The high velocity stream of ionized gas mechanically blows the molten metal away, severing the material and making the cut.
Plasma Cutting Torch serves as the holder for the consumables especially nozzle and electrode, and provides cooling (either gas or water) to these parts. The nozzle and electrode constrict and maintain the plasma jet.
