Plasma cutting was originally developed for the thermal cutting of materials which were unsuitable for flame cutting, such as high alloy steels or Aluminum. Today, the process is also used for the economical cutting of thin, low alloyed steels.
Characteristics:
- Plate thickness: 0.8 mm up to 160 mm
- Typical: 3 mm up to 75 mm
Key features:
- High to very high cut quality
- Smooth, cutting surfaces
- Metallurgical perfect surfaces for welding
- Medium heat input
- Excellent cutting speed
- Low harding on cutting surface
