Plasma Cutter
East Bay Engineering now offer Plasma Cutting on a wide range of materials.
What can plasma cut through?
Plasma cutting is a process that cuts through electrically conductive materials bymeans of an accelerated jet of hot plasma. Typical materials cut with a plasmatorch include steel, Stainless steel, aluminum, brass and copper, although other conductive metals may be cut as well.
How do air plasma cutters work?
Plasma cutters work by sending an electric arc through a gas that is passing through a constricted opening. The gas can be shop air, nitrogen, argon, oxygen. etc. This elevates the temperature of the gas to the point that it enters a 4th state of matter.
What is plasma and how is it used to cut?
The resulting stream can melt and blow through most metals quite easily. That's aplasma torch. Plasma cutting torches usually use a copper nozzle to constrict the gas stream with the arc flowing through it. That arc jumps from an electrode in the torch to something else – usually the conductive material being cut.
