What cutting methods can be used for steel plate cutting?

The main methods used for cutting steel plates are flame cutting, water cutting and plasma cutting. In industrial production, most companies buy the entire steel plate and then cut it into the required style by themselves, but the complex steel plate cutting process needs a professional cutting factory to complete. The following is a brief description of different types of cutting methods.

First, flame cutting is introduced. This method is most commonly used in steel plate cutting. It is to mix the dye and oxygen that can generate high temperature when burning. The steel plate with the cutting is oxidized and melted at high temperature during burning, and finally the steel plate is processed Into the required style. There are many fuels available, such as gas, acetylene or propane. Acetylene was a commonly used fuel, but it is no longer used.

Followed by water cutting. This cutting method of steel plate cutting is to spray water at a high pressure to cut the steel plate, and an abrasive is added to the water flow to speed up the cutting speed. The cross-section formed by water cutting is very smooth and neat, but the cost of the structure is relatively high. Ordinary materials generally do not use this cutting method. After that, special materials with particularly strict temperature requirements will use water cutting.

The last is plasma cutting. This cutting method is very common in current applications, especially in some small workshops. Plasma cutting is to make the gas be ionized under high temperature conditions to generate a plasma airflow, so that the cut steel sheet melts, and the cutting part just evaporates under the action of the plasma airflow to achieve the purpose of cutting. This method cuts very quickly, and the interface formed is very smooth.
