We wanted to follow up our welding series with some more helpful fabrication tips that any mini-trucker could use. Since this happens to be the first-ever Chicks Special in the history of any ...

Plasma cutting – occasionally referred to as ‘plasma arc cutting’ – is a melting process that sees a high-temperature ionized gas jet used to melt the material and expel it from a cut. This ionized ...

THIS is the fourth in the series of articles on welding safety. The central theme of these articles has been to emphasize that welding, if mastered and performed safely, is a rewarding profession, and ...

Plasma arc cutting (PAC) is a thermal cutting technique widely used in manufacturing applications such as shipbuilding, aerospace, fabrication, nuclear plants decommissioning, construction industry, ...

"The CUTMASTER family offers powerful and portable plasma cutting, so we wanted to thank our customers with a complimentary product and additional processes that also offer portability, a Stick/TIG ...

For consumable parts a typical shielded plasma torch has an electrode, a nozzle, and a shield. Many other torches are unshielded with an exposed nozzle and an electrode. The two consumable parts in ...

For many welding-related jobs, metal cutting is required before a welding arc is started. Two popular metal-cutting processes to choose from are plasma arc and oxy-fuel. Both systems have advantages ...

Thermal Cutting Overview provides a comprehensive introduction to the four most common industrial thermal cutting processes. Oxyfuel cutting uses a fuel gas flame that is mixed with pure oxygen.

An arc flash occurs due to a phase-to-ground or phase-to-phase short circuit. The extreme heat, light, and pressure blasts associated with these events make it necessary to take precautions when ...

Makers, hobbyists, engineers and mechanics looking for an easy way to cut through metal as if it were butter, may be interested in a new desktop CNC plasma cutter named the ArcDroid, created by a team ...
