Plasma process and Laser process

Plasma cutting VS Laser cutting
Laser cutting and Plasma cutting system with two types of metal cutting processes are widely used in industry. Some other process used in metal cutting as well as the use of mechanical and thermal cutting, welding, electrical power and sell electricity Jet abrasive cutting machine Compared with many of these processes, and laser cuttingsystem, plasma is considered faster and more efficient.

Plasma cutting machine process
Plasma or plasma arc cutting (PAC) process, was developed in 1950. The process was especially developed for cutting stainless steel, aluminum and copper that can not be easily cut by other processes like flame cutting. The process uses gases like argon, hydrogen, nitrogen, air and oxygen that can conduct electricity and hence have the ability to transmit energy from an electrical power source. The system involves the use of a source of electrical energy, an arc starting circuit and a plasma cutting torch. The torch is connected to the power source and the circuit through leads and cables. The electrically conductive gases transmit energy from the source of electrical power through the plasma cutting torch, which is used for cutting the material.

Laser cutting process
Laser cutting technology uses laser beams to cut materials and is used in many industrial applications like cutting, drilling, engraving, welding, ablation and structuring. The material on which the high powered laser is applied, usually burns, melts or vaporizes. In gas lasers, carbon dioxide along with other gases like helium and nitrogen, are used as a medium. On the other hand, neodymium ions and Yttrium-aluminum-garnet (YAG) crystals are used in solid-state lasers.
