Plasma cutting – occasionally referred to as ‘plasma arc cutting’ – is a melting process that sees a high-temperature ionized gas jet used to melt the material and expel it from a cut. This ionized ...

Abstract: The influence of expansion of a pulse electric arc plasma on its decay is studied theoretically and experimentally. The deviation from local thermal equilibrium (LTE) is accounted. The ...

For consumable parts a typical shielded plasma torch has an electrode, a nozzle, and a shield. Many other torches are unshielded with an exposed nozzle and an electrode. The two consumable parts in ...
