How Does a Plasma Cutter Work
Industry apparatus are mostly built of steel and other such metals. Obviously such metals are made after a lot of cutting, fusing and welding. Plasma cutting is the methods used for cutting such metals. The process uses a noble gas or an inert gas and compressed air beyond a particular value. This high pressure air blowing from the nozzle is directed towards the metal surface in question. At the same time, an electric arc is being built up between the metal surface and the inert gas nozzle. This causes the gas in the interim zone to convert to plasma. Plasma is very hot and hence it easily melts the metal. At the same time, it is also very fast and hence drives the molten metal away with ease.
