Plasma cutting predecessor, was first found in World War II in response to the need to build faster fighter. It was found that plasma welding is faster than conventional welding and joints strong. This technique is more refined and developed plasma cutting. Plasma cutters use electrical circuits and heat from an electric arc to create plasma metal cutting.
Until a few years ago only material that can conduct electricity cut by plasma cutting, for example, silver, gold and copper or non-metallic conductors such as salt and graphite. With further improvements, the current non-conducting materials can be cut with a plasma cutter. New technology creates sparks in the plasma torch head, while, in the past, created a splash by closing the circuit with workpiece. This opens up the plasma cutter as a tool for almost any job cuts, although most of the cuts have been made in metal.
Plasma cutter beauty is that these cuts are very clean and the metal directly adjacent to the wound is not affected by the cutting process. With oxyfuel cutter You may get thinning or melting metal near the wound. Plasma waves, on the other hand, slices through the metal with ease. Heat (about 50,000 degrees Celsius) and the plasma velocity causing it to blow through metal.
With a plasma cutter can cut any shape or angle you want and if you use a plasma cutter with automated computer numerical control (CNC) then you can upload images to a computer and have a CNC plasma cutter cut the picture out of the metal. It's really quite amazing. The new machines can even cut bevel 45 degrees to increase the depth of each project.
