  • Page 23: Introduction To Plasma

    2.08 Introduction to Plasma A. Plasma Gas Flow Plasma is a gas which has been heated to an extremely high temperature and ionized so that it becomes electrically conductive. The plasma arc cutting and gouging processes use this plasma to transfer an electrical arc to the workpiece. The metal to be cut or removed is melted by the heat of the arc and then blown away.
  • Page 24 D. Main Cutting Arc DC power is also used for the main cutting arc. The negative output is connected to the torch electrode through the torch lead. The positive output is connected to the workpiece via the work cable and to the torch through a pilot wire.

  • Page 50: Cut Quality

    4.04 Cut Quality NOTES Cut quality depends heavily on setup and parameters such as torch standoff, alignment with the workpiece, cutting speed, gas pressures, and operator ability. Cut quality requirements differ depending on application. For instance, nitride build - up and bevel angle may be major factors when the surface will be welded after cutting.
  • Page 51: General Cutting Information

    4.05 General Cutting Information WARNINGS Disconnect primary power at the source before disassembling the power supply, torch, or torch leads. Frequently review the Important Safety Precautions at the front of this manual. Be sure the operator is equipped with proper gloves, clothing, eye and ear protection. Make sure no part of the operator’s body comes into contact with the workpiece while the torch is activated.
  • Page 52: Torch Operation

    E. Dross When dross is present on carbon steel, it is commonly referred to as either “high speed, slow speed, or top dross”. Dross present on top of the plate is normally caused by too great a torch to plate distance. “Top dross” is nor- mally very easy to remove and can often be wiped off with a welding glove.
  • Page 53 B. Travel Speed Proper travel speed is indicated by the trail of the arc which is seen below the plate. The arc can be one of the following: Straight Arc A straight arc is perpendicular to the workpiece surface. This arc is generally recommended for the best cut using air plasma on stainless or aluminum.
  • Page 54: Cutting Parameters

    C. Piercing With Machine Torch To pierce with a machine torch, the arc should be started with the torch positioned as high as possible above the plate while allowing the arc to transfer and pierce. This standoff helps avoid having molten metal blow back onto the front end of the torch.
