Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is plasma beveling?

    Answer:

    It is a process of cutting or shaping metal at an angle using a plasma torch. During the process, a high-velocity jet of ionized gas (plasma) is directed onto the surface of the metal, melting and vaporizing the metal to create a cut or a shape. The plasma torch is mounted on a computer-controlled cutting machine that can precisely control the angle and depth of the bevel cut.

    It is commonly used in the metal fabrication industry for cutting and shaping metal parts with angled edges or chamfers. The process is often used for cutting bevels on thick metal plates or pipes, as it is faster and more cost-effective than traditional methods such as oxy-fuel cutting or mechanical beveling.

    Plasma beveling offers several advantages over other beveling techniques, including:

    1. High speed: it is a fast and efficient process, allowing for high production rates.
    2. High precision: it can achieve precise, accurate cuts with minimal kerf width and minimal distortion.
    3. Versatility: it can be used on a wide range of metals, including steel, aluminum, copper, and titanium.
    4. Automation: it can be automated using computer-controlled cutting machines, allowing for consistent and repeatable results.

    It is commonly used in a variety of industries, including construction, automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing, where precise and efficient beveling is required.

  • What metal types are frequently plasma beveled?

    Answer:

    Plasma cutting technology can be used to bevel a wide range of metal shapes, including sheet, plate, pipe, tube, bar, angle, beam, and channel. The ability to bevel these different shapes allows for more flexibility and versatility in the fabrication and manufacturing process.

    Here are some examples of how plasma beveling can be applied to different metal shapes:

    • Sheet: it can be used to create angled edges on thin metal sheets, which are commonly used in roofing, cladding, and other architectural applications.
    • Plate: Plasma beveling can be used to create angled edges on thick metal plates, which are commonly used in construction, shipbuilding, and other heavy-duty applications.
    • Pipe and tube: it can be used to create angled edges on metal pipes and tubes, which are commonly used in plumbing, HVAC, and other piping systems.
    • Bar: Plasma beveling can be used to create angled edges on metal bars, which are commonly used in construction, manufacturing, and other applications.
    • Angle, beam, and channel: Plasma beveling can be used to create angled edges on metal shapes such as angles, beams, and channels, which are commonly used in construction and structural applications.

    Overall, plasma beveling is a versatile and efficient method for creating angled edges on various metal shapes, which is widely used in many industries for welding and fabrication applications.
