Cutting Principles and Advantages of Plasma Cutter

Plasma cutter uses a gas that is heated to a very high temperature and is highly ionized to work. It transfers the arc energy to the processed material, and the high heat can melt the material to form a plasma arc cutting. The momentum of the high-speed plasma is then used to melt the metal to form an incision, for completing the processing process.

Good cutting effect. The plasma machine can use different gases to cut various metals that are difficult to be cut by oxygen. It is particularly suitable for cutting stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminum, and copper. Its main advantages are that when cutting the above-mentioned metal with a small thickness, the plasma cutting speed is fast, the cutting surface is smooth, the thermal deformation is small, the damage to the processed material is small, and there is almost no heat-affected zone.

Plasma processing is more environmentally friendly. By obtaining plasma from water vapor, the plasma cutting machine is safe, simple, effective, multi-functional and can protect the environment.
