Plasma cutting steel
Plasma, sometimes called the fourth state of matter, makes tech-people fascinated with it’s numerous properties. Some of them are interesting just from science point of view but many have a practical behoof in the industry. And it’s still growing with a new discoveries and new amazing facilities. Also when it comes to steel machining and cutting – plasma gives a fair competition ever to a laser cutting.
Plasma cutting machines are dedicated for manual and automated handling. Plasma and air jumble is useful with cutting electrical conducting parts made of steel, alloys, aluminium and it’s alloys, coppers, brasses and even a cast iron. Plasma cutting machines shows it’s versatile also when it comes to different enviromental conditions allowing to cut deep underwater for example. Coeval plasma machines are usually instant ready to use and with special accesories can cut in places with limited access for the other tools.
The main advantages for plasma machines:
- high speed of cutting
- cutting without overheating – quick nailing
- small influence in the area of cutting on the steel
- narrow slit
- allows to cut without overburning thin fabrics.
And here comes some disadventages:
- loud work noise
- strong radiation
- much of exhausts – gases and fumes
- Some structure degeneration in cutting area
- perpendicular keeping is sometimes difficult.
Let’s see and listen some example:
