What is Plasma Cutting

Plasma cutting is a precise and efficient method used to cut through electrically conductive materials like steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. It works by creating a high-temperature plasma arc using compressed gas (such as oxygen, nitrogen, or air) and an electrical current. This arc melts the metal, while the high-velocity gas blows away molten material, leaving a clean cut. Widely used in industries like manufacturing, automotive, and construction, plasma cutting is valued for its speed, accuracy, and ability to cut complex shapes. It’s ideal for tasks requiring minimal heat distortion and is accessible through portable machines and CNC systems.
