What Is Plasma Cutting?
Plasma cutting is a thermal cutting and melting process. Unlike flame cutting, it uses an electrical arc to ionize and heat gas to form the plasma used to cut steel.
How It Works
A tungsten electrode is used to create an electrical arc at the plasma cutting torch, and the steel being worked with becomes part of the circuit courtesy of a grounding clamp. Once the plasma is ionized by the electrode, it superheats (to over 36,000° Fahrenheit) and interacts with the steel. This jet of superheated plasma gas severs the steel and blows away any molten metal.
