Plasma Cut Stainless Steel Plate

With the new cutting capability penn stainless now can cut stainless steel plate up to 6 25 in.

The thickness of the resolidified layer generally is in the 10 to 30 m range less than 0 001 inch. These plasma gases provide a nonoxidizing plasma arc which produces a clean cut edge that is weld ready without secondary operations.

It s getting additional benefits as well. This is vital when processing thin sheet and stainless steel plate. We have recently installed two new koike aronson versagraph millennium series plasma cutting systems model 3100. Precision plasma can pierce and cut stainless steel up to around 40mm and high amperage plasma systems can pierce and cut stainless steel up to around 100mm.

Plasma arc cutting of austenitic stainless steel alloys produces a haz characterized by a thin layer of resolidified metal adhered to the cut edge. Little or no solid state phase transformation is observed in the microstructure. The stainless steel processor s new plasma cutting machines occupy the same footprint as the company s two 20 year old plasma cutting tables. In the event the precious metal starts shifting throughout the exterior make an effort to sustain a comparatively quick and also speedy acceleration.

This is especially true for thicker stainless steel plates where plasma cutting is almost universally considered the best solution.
