Plasma Cutting

Plasma cutting, or plasma arc cutting, is a fabrication process that uses superheated, ionized gas to cut metal into custom shapes and designs. The plasma torch utilizes a copper nozzle to constrict and focus the stream of plasma. The nozzle contains an electrode that creates an arc between the  electrode and the material to be cut. The compressed gas  stream, combined with the electrical charge running through  it, creates an intense, highly accurate stream capable of  quickly and easily creating precision cuts in most metals.
