Depending on the type of material being processed, gas selection is critical to overall efficiency. The right gas influences not only cutting speed and quality, but also consumable life and operating costs. In this guide, we explain the…
What Components Make Up a Plasma Cutter? Power Supply Powered from the electrical grid, it generates direct current (DC) with a voltage between 240 and 400 V. The total rated power and current capacity of the power supply…
A Brief History Most of us learned in school about only three states of matter. This is because plasma began to be commonly discussed in this context relatively recently. The first research on plasma was conducted in 1928…
Gas cutting (also known as oxy-fuel cutting) is—alongside plasma cutting—one of the most popular methods of cutting metals. It is used primarily for cutting low-carbon and low-alloy steels. We have previously published an article comparing gas cutting to…
