Carrier Gas is Flowed to the Plasma Nozzle&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the plasma cutting device is connected to a power source, a carrier gas, usually nitrogen or argon, will flow through the plasma nozzle on the cutting tool.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This gas serves as a medium to form plasma when exposed to a high electric current.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The process begins with the gas flowing through the nozzle and then exposed to a very high electric current.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This electric current ionizes the gas, producing plasma which is a very hot and conductive gas. It is this plasma that is used to cut the metal material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The selection of the right type of carrier gas and pressure is critical to achieving optimal plasma quality.<br>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The right gas and appropriate pressure ensure that the plasma produced has the consistency and strength required to cut materials with high precision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the correct settings, plasma cutting can provide clean and efficient cutting results, according to the specific needs of your application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Electric_Arc_Formation_and_Gas_at_Nozzle_to_Surface\"><\/span>3. Electric Arc Formation and Gas at Nozzle to Surface<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The high electric current that has successfully passed through the plasma nozzle then creates an electric arc between the nozzle and the metal surface to be cut.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This arc causes the carrier gas to ionize, turning it into hot plasma.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Setting the distance between the nozzle and the metal material, as well as controlling the electric current are important factors in forming a plasma with an optimal temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>Also Read: &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dimulti.id\/SNI\/functions-of-plasma-cutting\/\">Functions of Plasma Cutting<\/a>&#8220;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Turning_the_Gas_Into_Plasma\"><\/span>4. Turning the Gas Into Plasma<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After the arc is formed, the carrier gas is ionized and as a result it turns into hot plasma.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This plasma should have a temperature that reaches thousands of degrees celsius so that it will be hot enough to melt the metal material to be cut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Controlling the plasma temperature is a key aspect to achieving effective cutting and avoiding damage to the cutting device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Plasma_is_Formed\"><\/span>5. Plasma is Formed<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, the hot plasma generated in a controlled manner can be directed to the metallic material.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The high energy of the plasma is used to melt and form a cutting gap in the metal material.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Controlling the cutting motion and cutting speed is a major factor in achieving accurate, clean cuts that conform to the desired pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, there you have it! The steps of how plasma cutting works!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because it is derived from welding, plasma cutting is also being one among many other things that needs to be certified by the SNI certification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a lot to covers about the SNI certification of welding, such as the safety equipment that clearly stated in SNI ISO 11611:2015.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Plasma Cutting Works?
