By offering in-house high definition plasma cutting on our state-of-the-art CNC equipment, Atlantic Stainless provides customers with an economical alternative to expensive water-jet cutting and saves them valuable machining time and costs.
We are often asked how the plasma cutting process works. Using a high-temperature, high-velocity stream of ionized gas, 2D shapes are cut from thick pieces of sheet metal. The plasma stream is generated by directing the flow of an inert gas where an electric arc ionizes the gas. The material is then heated to a molten condition and the high-velocity gas stream blows the material away. To see the CNC equipment in action, check out a video of our plasma cutting experts working on a project. (more…)
