Plasma Cutting Stainless Steel Sheet

To clean cut stainless steel sheet and plate fabricators first must choose the right cnc cutting equipment and then set the correct process related variables.

Plasma cutting stainless steel sheet.

Precise machine motion controls torch to material distance control and the correct plasma and assist gases all are crucial to producing weld ready plasma cut edges on all stainless steel thicknesses. The next consideration for successful stainless steel cutting with plasma is material type. This is especially true for thicker stainless steel plates where plasma cutting is almost universally considered the best solution. When a plasma process engineered for cutting 304l is applied to another similar austenitic alloy for example 316l dross and a rough cut edge can result.

304l an austenitic stainless steel is the most commonly used grade worldwide.
