PLASMA CUTTING
Plasma cutting enables us to quickly and precisely cut steel and other metals of various thicknesses. Typical materials cut with a plasma torch include alloy steel, stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminum, brass and copper.
We are capable of cutting stainless steel and aluminum materials up to 3/4″ thick and carbon steel materials up to 3″ thick.
What is Plasma Cutting?
Plasma cutting uses an inert gas blown at high speeds and at temperatures above 20,000°C (36,032°F). An electrical arc is then created through and around the gas, forming plasma. This plasma is hot enough to cut the metal. Plasma gases are usually argon, argon/hydrogen or nitrogen. These inert gases can be replaced by air but this requires a special electrode of hafnium or zirconium.
