| Process | Plasma welding |
|---|---|
|
Plasma welding is used where deep narrow welds are needed and where attention is focused on thermal distorsion and welding speed. Because of the very focused heat source a combination of thin and thick plates can be welded.
Plasma is ionized gas at very high temperatures (30.000 C). The plasma is generated by sending a jet of gas through an electric arc. Plasma welding is only done on automatic machines. Very suitable method for non-continuous welding with many starts and stops, thanks to a pilot arc. |
