With our plasma cutter, the cutting process involves utilizing extremely sharp and high-temperature plasma arc to quickly pierce through the workpiece and then blow away the molten material.
In general, the uncompressed gas (at atmospheric pressure) in an electric arc is partially ionized. The temperature of such so-called free-burning electric arc is ranging from 6,000℃ to 8,000℃.
When imposed to high pressure, the free-burning electric arc will ionize almost all the gas within it, thereby creating a plasma jet with high velocity, high current density and small conductive cross-sectional area. The plasma jet will immediately reach temperature ranging from 15,000℃ to 30,000℃, quickly melting down the metal processed.
