caution
top Dross
Appears as splatter on top of material. Usually removes easily.
• Cutting speed fast
• Standoff high (arc voltage)
intermittent Dross
Appears on top or bottom along kerf. Non-continuous. Can appear as
any kind of dross.
• Possible worn consumables
other factors affecting Dross;
• Material temperature
• Heavy mill scale or rust
• High carbon alloys
caution
Dimensional accuracy
Generally using the slowest possible speed (within approved levels) will optimize part accuracy. Select consumables to allow
a lower arc voltage and slower cutting speed.
notice
Recommended cutting speed and arc voltage will give optimal cutting performance.
Small incremental adjustments may be needed due to material quality, material temperature and specific alloy. The
operator should remember that all cutting variables are interdependent. Changing one setting affects all others and cut
quality could deteriorate. Always start at the recommended settings. Before attempting ANY corrections, check cutting
variables with the factory recommended settings/ consumable part numbers listed in the process data.
