Plasma cutting is a process in which a jet of ionized gas at temperatures above 20,000*C is used to melt and expel material from the burn. During the process, an electric arc is struck between an electrode and the workpiece. The electrode is recessed in a water-or air cooled nozzle which constricts the arc causing the narrow, high temperature, high-velocity plasma jet to form.
Using large amounts of clean, dry air at high pressures and oxygen, plasma cutting offers a nearly “saw-like” finish to cut parts. An electrical arc is created through the inert gas or compressed air. The stream of plasma delivers sufficient heat to melt through the material, allowing it to reach its melting point. The heated metal from the cut area is then blown away, creating the shape or template needed for many industry applications. Hi-def plasma cutting allows for a more precise, clean edge over traditional plasma tables. By eliminating most warping, it can produce a weld-ready cut. Plasma cutting is an efficient, economical way of cutting thick and thin materials.
