 The plasma cutting process is a sheet metal fabrication process . It has become one of the most popular and widely used thermal cutting processes in industrial fabrication and manufacturing. Its ability to cut through all conductive metals with precision and speed makes it a versatile choice for many applications. However, like any process, plasma cutting has advantages and limitations. Pros of Plasma Cutting Cutting Speed One of the most significant advantages of the plasma cutting process is its very high cutting speed capability. Plasma systems can make straight cuts at over 100 inches per minute on thin gauge metal less than 1/4" thickness. This is around 2-3 times faster than processes like oxyfuel or laser cutting. The high speed is achieved because the plasma jet melts a very narrow kerf width of only 1/16" to 1/8". Plasma still maintains faster cutting speeds on thicker steel plates than other methods. Cut speeds will reach 30-40 pm on 1" mild steel with h...

The plasma and laser cutting processes are two of the most common thermal cutting processes used in manufacturing and fabrication. Both utilize incredibly high temperatures to melt and cut through metal but use different methods to generate that heat. Understanding the differences between these two processes can help determine which is better suited for a particular application. How Plasma Cutting Works Plasma cutting service  uses a compressed gas, usually compressed air, to create a very high-temperature plasma arc that melts and cuts through metal. Inside the plasma torch, a spark is generated, which ionizes the compressed gas into plasma. This plasma exits the torch at very high speeds, up to the speed of sound, and at extremely high temperatures, around 20,000°F or higher. The plasma arc is constricted and focused by a small orifice in the plasma torch nozzle. As the superheated plasma jet contacts the workpiece, it melts the metal into a liquid state which is then blown away ...
