2. Plasma cutting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_cutting

   Plasma cutting is an effective way of cutting thin and thick materials alike. Hand-held torches can usually cut up to 38 mm (1.5 in) thick steel plate, and stronger computer-controlled torches can cut steel up to 150 mm (6 in) thick.

3. Piezoelectric direct discharge plasma - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piezoelectric_direct...

   Piezoelectric direct discharge (PDD) plasma is a type of cold non-equilibrium plasma, generated by a direct gas discharge of a high voltage piezoelectric transformer. It can be ignited in air or other gases in a wide range of pressures, including atmospheric. Due to the compactness and the efficiency of the piezoelectric transformer, this ...

4. Plasma torch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_torch

   Plasma torch. A plasma torch cutter. A plasma torch (also known as a plasma arc, plasma gun, plasma cutter, or plasmatron) is a device for generating a directed flow of plasma. [1][2][3] The plasma jet can be used for applications including plasma cutting, plasma arc welding, plasma spraying, and plasma gasification for waste disposal. [4]

5. Talk:Plasma cutting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Plasma_cutting

   My cutting table is 6' x 12' and uses a Hypertherm 130HSD. The dimensions on this unit are about 4' x 4' and it weighs more than 300', the maximum thickness it can cut with edge start is 1 1/2" steel. This Wikipedia article has already been disseminated throughout the internet claiming that a hand held plasma can usually cut 2" thick steel, and ...

6. Metalworking - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metalworking

   Metalworking is the process of shaping and reshaping metals in order to create useful objects, parts, assemblies, and large scale structures. As a term, it covers a wide and diverse range of processes, skills, and tools for producing objects on every scale: from huge ships, buildings, and bridges, down to precise engine parts and delicate ...

7. Metal fabrication - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_fabrication

   Burn tables are CNC (computer-operated) cutting torches, usually powered by natural gas. Plasma and laser cutting tables, and water jet cutters, are also common. Plate steel is loaded on the table and the parts are cut out as programmed. The support table consists of a grid of bars that can be replaced when worn.

8. Plasma railgun - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_railgun

   Plasma railgun. A plasma railgun is a linear accelerator which, like a projectile railgun, uses two long parallel electrodes to accelerate a "sliding short" armature. However, in a plasma railgun, the armature and ejected projectile consists of plasma, or hot, ionized, gas-like particles, instead of a solid slug of material.

9. Plasma arc welding - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_arc_welding

   Plasma arc welding (PAW) is an arc welding process similar to gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW). The electric arc is formed between an electrode (which is usually but not always made of sintered tungsten) and the workpiece. The key difference from GTAW is that in PAW, the electrode is positioned within the body of the torch, so the plasma arc is ...
