Metal, alloy steel and non-ferrous metals are actively used in construction - during the assembly of frames and reinforcing structures, during the installation of engineering systems, in roofing, finishing and other works.
The cost and duration of construction, the quality and reliability of welding, and the appearance of metal structures will depend on how accurately, cost-effectively, and quickly metal blanks will be processed.
What is plasma cutting
You can cut metal in different ways. For example, mechanically, using abrasive elements. Or a laser. Another modern method is cutting with a plasma stream.
The essence of the technology lies in the supply of gas under pressure to the site of the cut. The gas is converted into high-temperature plasma, which acts on the workpiece in a targeted manner. The molten metal is blown out of the cut.
The composition of the gas that is converted to plasma depends on the type and alloying additions in the metal.
Plasma benefits
First, versatility. During plasma cutting, temperatures exceed 5000 degrees Celsius, which allows cutting even refractory metals. At the same time, the workpiece itself is heated to a minimum. The maximum metal thickness depends on the cutting equipment and can be up to 300 millimeters.
Secondly, the speed of work. Even if you compare plasma cutting with laser cutting, it will be 3-4 times faster. Waterjet cutting is 8-10 times slower than plasma cutting. The high speed of cutting metal without reducing the quality of the cut allows you to minimize the construction time for frame and other buildings with a large number of metal structures.
Thirdly, the accuracy and quality of the cut. Plasma cutting is one of the most accurate (first class of accuracy). This means that the workpieces do not require additional processing before welding, saving both time and construction budget.
Unlike oxyacetylene, plasma cutting is theoretically safer. Of course, this does not mean that it does not require compliance with strict safety rules and the qualifications of a specialist carver.
Finally, there is the possibility of curly cutting. Due to the technological features of plasma cutting equipment, at the output, you can get products with a cut line of almost any geometric shape.
