The plasma cutting method uses heat from a high-temperature plasma electric arc to cut the steel parts. During the cutting processes, metal materials are melted and evaporated, and then plasma power erases the metal melting fusions. Plasma-cutting technology is used extensively in the steel and metal-cutting processes, especially when integrated with CNC plasma arc cutting.
Advantages of Plasma Cutting
- The ability to cut a variety of very thin, electrically conductive metals, including steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and copper up to 2 inches thick
- Greater cutting versatility, including stack cutting, beveling, shape cutting, gouging, and piercing of metals
- Precise cuts at faster speeds — plasma can cut thinner metals faster than oxy-fuel, with minimal material distortion.
- Plasma cuts with minimal slag for a smoother cut than oxy-fuel
- Greater ability to cut shaped metals, such as domes or tubes
- Lower cost with no preheating required, and greater ease of use
