    Plasma arc machining uses an ionized gas known as plasma to cut metals. The process works by using a plasma arc torch to create and direct a high-temperature plasma jet that reaches temperatures over 25,000°C, which is hotter than the melting point of most metals. When the plasma is directed at a metal workpiece, the intense heat allows for cutting through the metal. Plasma arc machining offers advantages like superior cutting ability, high precision, and producing less waste compared to other cutting methods, though it also requires more expensive equipment and skilled operators.

    Plasma Arc Machining

    [PAM]
    By : Aher Shivam Suresh (TYME 03)

    What is Plasma ?
    It is a state of matter similar to Gas. Mostly Inert Gases. Ionized at High Temperature. Contain Protons and Free Electrons. 20000-25000C

    Plasma Arc Torch


    A device used for producing Plasma Arc.

    Working

    Plasma Arc Cutting


    The Process of Cutting Metals using the Plasma Arc Torch. Born in 1960s In 1980s it was the most productive way.

    HOW?
    Workpiece: A metal sheet of 6 inch thickness. Having MP = 3000C. Plasma: Argon Gas. 25000 C (45000F) Velocity is greater than sound.

    Reasons
    Temp. of Plasma > MP of Metal The plasma is localized at a desired area. The velocity of free electrons in plasma is very high. The workpiece is given High Voltage High Frequency +ve Charge.

    Advantages
    Superior Cutting Ability. High Precision. Fairly Economical. Less Waste Produced.

    Disadvantages
    Operation Cost is high. Skilled Operator Required. Precautions and Safety.

    Plasma Arc Welding


    The Process of Joining two Metals using Plasma Arc Torch.

    Advantages
    Greater Energy Concentration. Deep & narrow penetration is achievable. Greater arc stability.

    Disadvantages
    Expensive and Complex Equipment. Welding procedures is complex. High Operator skill required. Orifice replacement is necessary.

    Any Doubts ???
