Perks of Using Plasma Cutting in Welding Fabrication

August 16, 2022

Workpieces that are thick, hard or electrically conductive are usually cut through using a plasma cutter. A plasma cutter uses an accelerated jet of hot plasma. The plasma torch, with the help of hot plasma, can cut, melt and vaporize metals easily. 

 

The process is commonly used in welding shops and factories and plays an important role in welding fabrication. The plasma cutter has many advantages over other cutting methods. This technology is relatively new and in this blog, we highlight its importance in welding fabrication.

 

Perks of Using Plasma Cutting in Welding Fabrication

 

 

Speed:
The most common advantage is its speed. A plasma cutter can cut through metals very quickly. This is because the plasma torch produces a very hot and intense arc that can easily melt and vaporize metal. 

 

Can cut thick materials:
Another advantage of a plasma cutter is its ability to cut through thick materials. Metal fabricators use a plasma torch to cut through hard materials like structural steel, stainless steel, chromium etc.

 

Easy to work around complex shapes:
The plasma cutter also has the advantage of being able to cut curved and complex shapes. This is because the plasma torch can be easily maneuvered to cut through metals in any shape or form. This is very helpful for welding technicians as it saves their time and energy.

 

Versatility:
Lastly, a plasma cutter is a very versatile tool. It can be used to cut through a variety of materials including aluminum, stainless steel, brass, and even titanium. Its ability to cut through thick materials is well known. Apart from that, the precision of a plasma cutter also makes it an ideal option to cut thin workpieces.
