For cutting thick aluminum, you would typically use Argon and Hydrogen gas mixtures. The kinds of metal that fall into this category include:ĭepending on the thickness of the metal, certain types of gas will need to be used to create higher temperatures of ion plasma that can cut through special types of metal.
Even with thin metal being cut, you need to think of your safety first. Even for the automated plasma cutters, the thicker a metal tends to be, the more hazard from all the sparks that are produced. You can cut these kinds of metal from a sheet metal thickness of 1-2mm up to 1-2 inches. What a Plasma Cutter Can CutĪny kind of metal that is electrically conductive is well suited for using the plasma cutter. Plasma Arc Cutting (PAC) is a thermal cutting process that can cut any electrically conductive metal. So, with that being said, let’s find out what a plasma cutter can cut so easily. The direction of the plasma flow is so strong it usually leaves a polished edge where it was cut. On a microscopic level, it essentially eats through the metal like a knife cuts-through warm butter. In a nutshell, this plasma stream is electrically heated to increase the flow of electrons in one direction. Hence the connection between the two completes a circuit and allows the plasma to shoot through a piece of metal. This connection is positive, while the actual cutter itself is negative. A metal piece being cut will need to be grounded directly from a clamp that comes from the plasma cutter. But it needs to have both a positive and negative connection on the metal before it works. It will produce a plasma reaction that can cut right through the metal. When you plug it into an electrical socket, electricity travels through the cord to the other end.Ī plasma cutter works similarly but instead uses compressed air and special gas. Your electrical extension cord, for example, has long strands of copper wire running through it. Anything that is made from metal can be a conductor-the same reason we use metal for electricity since it travels through it so easily. Please note that Torch Height Control is recommended and greatly enhances the capabilities and quality for CNC Plasma Cutting.Essentially the way a plasma cutter can cut-through metal comes down to the bare elements of the metal itself.
