Plasma
Description
Plasma cutting is an efficient, fast, and economical method of working stainless steel and nickel alloys. The process relies on a plasma jet, a highly ionized gas at very high temperature, which melts the metal and cleanly cuts it using a stream of compressed air.
This method offers many advantages, including the ability to work with sheets of various thicknesses, from thin sheets to thicker plates up to 6 inches.
Modern plasma cutting, especially in its high-definition versions, ensures clean and sharp edges, reducing the need for finishing steps such as deburring. This makes it an ideal option for producing ready-to-use cut pieces.

Cost
Lower cost than waterjet, laser or saw cutting.
Shapes
Can be used to cut rings, disks and other shapes.
Speed
Quick turn around times and typically shorter lead-times.
Heat Affected Zone
Very high temperatures create a heat affected zone around the cut surfaces. Should be removed by secondary processes.
Cut quality & Tolerances
Small holes and 3D geometry are not available with Plasma cutting. Waterjet and Laser is the alternative.
Heat Sensitive Grades
400 series and PH grades have limitations.
