What is a plasma flame cutting machine? How to use it correctly to improve work efficiency?

Plasma flame cutting machine is a common metal cutting tool that uses a high -temperature gas called plasma for cutting. Compared with the traditional flame cutting machine, the plasma flame cutting machine has higher cutting speed, higher accuracy, and more suitable for various metals. In this article, we will explore the working principles of the plasma flame cutting machine and how to use it correctly to improve work efficiency.

1. The working principle of plasma flame cutting machine

Plashes are a high -energy gas state, usually composed of electronics and ions. Plashes can be generated in high temperature environments, such as high -voltage arcs or high -power laser beams. High energy of plasma can decompose metal materials into ions and electrons, thereby forming a high -temperature cutting area. The metal in this cutting area will be quickly evaporated and rushed away by gas, thereby achieving the effect of cutting. Plasma flame cutting machine is cut to cut high -energy plasma by using high -frequency AC power supply. In the plasma flame cutting machine, the gas (usually oxygen and nitrogen) is sprayed through a nozzle. Under the action of a high -temperature arc, the gas will be used to form a plasma to form a high -temperature, high -pressure airflow. This airflow evaporates metal materials and quickly washed away to cut it.

2. How to correctly use plasma flame cutting machines to improve work efficiency

1. Choose the correct gas: Choose the correct gas can effectively improve the cutting efficiency. For example, when cutting carbon steel, oxygen is a commonly used gas; when cutting stainless steel, nitrogen is a better choice.

2. Correctly set the cutting parameters: Correctly setting the cutting parameters can make the cutting efficiency. For example, current, voltage, gas flow and nozzle are all set according to the type and thickness of metal materials.

3. Keep the nozzle clean: nozzle is one of the key factors of cutting quality. Therefore, keep the nozzle cleaning and replace them regularly.

4. Keep the flatness of the cutting surface: The level of the cut surface will directly affect the quality of the cutting. Therefore, the surface of the metal material is cleaned and clean before cutting to ensure that the cutting surface is flat.

5. Pay attention to safety: When using a plasma flame cutting machine, pay attention to safety. For example, wearing eyes and gloves, and keep a safe distance to avoid damage to splashing by nozzles and metal materials.

6. Maintenance and maintenance: Maintenance and maintenance of plasma flame cutting machines are the key to ensuring their normal work. For example, the nozzle, maintenance circuit and cleaning equipment are replaced regularly to ensure its normal work.

In short, plasma flame cutting machine is a very practical tool that can greatly improve the efficiency and accuracy of metal cutting. By correcting the gas, setting the cutting parameters, keeping the nozzle cleaning, keeping the cutting surface flat, paying attention to safety, and maintaining and maintenance, we can ensure the normal work of the plasma flame cutting machine and improve work efficiency.
