What is plasma cutting?

Plasma cutting is a metal cutting process that uses a superheated ionised gas, or plasma, to melt and cut through electrically conductive materials. This process is perfect for cutting through metals such as steel, aluminium, and stainless steel making it a versatile tool in steel plate profiling.

During plasma cutting, a high-velocity stream of ionised gas is directed through a nozzle at the metal surface. The plasma arc melts the material, while the force of the gas blows away the molten metal, creating a clean and precise cut. Plasma cutting is ideal for cutting intricate shapes, thick materials, and large metal sheets quickly and efficiently.

Benefits of Plasma Cutting

Plasma cutting offers a variety of advantages, making it one of the most popular cutting methods in the metal fabrication industry. Here are some key benefits:

Plasma cutting delivers highly precise cuts with minimal material wastage. Whether you’re cutting complex shapes or straight edges, plasma technology ensures sharp, clean cuts that require little to no finishing work.

Plasma cutting can be used on a wide range of metals, including mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminium. It can handle materials of varying thickness, from thin sheets to thick plates, making it a versatile solution for diverse fabrication needs.

Plasma cutting is fast. The process can cut through metals quickly without sacrificing quality, making it an ideal choice for high-volume production or urgent projects that require a quick turnaround.

Compared to other metal cutting methods, plasma cutting is highly cost-effective. Its speed, precision, and minimal need for post-processing reduce production costs, saving you time and money on your project.

The heat-affected zone (HAZ) in plasma cutting is relatively small, which means that it causes minimal thermal distortion to the material. This is especially important when working with thin materials or precision components.

Plasma cutting produces less smoke and fewer harmful gases compared to traditional cutting methods. With fewer toxic fumes and cleaner operations, it offers a safer working environment for operators and a cleaner finish for your parts.
