Plasma and Fiber Laser Cutting on Stainless Steel
Laser Cutting Technology Basics
Laser cutting technology uses very high-energy, accurately focused laser beams to cut at incredible precision with minimal waste in material. Because there are limits to the thermal nature of laser technology to certain thicknesses of stainless steel, we do not use laser cutting for sheets that are thicker than approximately 25 to 35 millimeters.
While laser cutting is initially more expensive, the minimal material waste makes it ultimately cost effective and more efficient than other technologies. The end result is clean, precise lines with nearly invisible bead welds.
Plasma Cutting Basics
Plasma cutting uses an inert gas, such as argon, hydrogen, or shop air. The gas passes through a fine nozzle at extremely high pressure, together with an electrical arc. This is resulting in a plasma jet that cuts the steel. High temperatures result on contact with certain conductive metals. The process rapidly cuts and simultaneously displaces vaporized material.
Plasma cutting is ideal for larger thicknesses of stainless steel. However, the precision of the cut is less than that of laser cuts. This is fine for a finished product that requires less accuracy at a lower initial cost. It is suitable for conventional welding applications.
