plasma arc cutting

Plasma arc cutting is a process that uses a high-temperature, electrically ionized gas called plasma to cut through metals. An electric arc is generated between an electrode and a focused nozzle, which heats and melts the metal along a precisely controlled line. The plasma, created by compressing and energizing gas such as compressed air or oxygen, conducts electricity and reaches temperatures above 20,000°C, allowing rapid and clean cutting of thick or conductive materials. This technique is widely used in industries for its speed, precision, and ability to cut various metals efficiently.
