Plasma cutting

The process of plasma cutting allows you to cut many types of metals through the use of a plasma torch. During the proceedings, a gas is expelled at high speed through a nozzle, establishing an electric arc between the electrode and the element to be treated, and thus transforming the gas into plasma. This one is able to bring the metal to the melting temperature. Afterwards, the kinetic energy created by the gas expels the molten metal from the area to be treated, thus allowing you to proceed with the cutting operation.

The plasma cutting process is essentially divided into two phases. In the first one, called "initiation phase”, the high voltage current causes a high intensity spark between the electrode and the nozzle, Creating the plasma, called “pilot arc”. This procedure can also be carried out with a "contact" system, where the nozzle is placed in direct contact with the electrode, causing the current to pass between the two elements in short circuit and the gas to cause the detachment of the two elements. In the end, the ignition spark is created.

The second phase is called "transfer stage”. during this process, the plasma comes into contact with the anode, constituted by the element to be treated, conducting low voltage electric current.

Benefits:

  • The plasma cutting technique lends itself easily to all needs, as it allows for negotiation sheet metal of any thickness.
    Thanks to the possibility of directing the plasma cutting machines, this technique is particularly versatile and precise, allowing you to accomplish different types of cuts, even on curved or angled elements.
