Hypertherm Plasma Cutters – Application

Hypertherm Powermax plasma cutting devices are not only of high quality, but they also have a wide range of applications. The various available torches and consumables make it possible to adapt these versatile machines to many processes.

In a previous article, we discussed the topic of plasma as a subject in physics. In this article, we will focus on its practical aspects. You will learn how a plasma cutting machine is built and how it works.

Depending on the type of material to be processed, the gas choice is crucial for process efficiency. Hence, the right choice of gas affects the speed and quality of the process and equipment life and operating costs. This guide will explain the combinations, characteristics, and benefits of the different plasma and shielding gases.
