What is Plasma Welding

Imagine harnessing the power of the sun in your workshop.

Plasma welding is a sophisticated welding process that utilizes an ionized gas known as plasma to produce an extremely high temperate arc.

This method is renowned for its precision, making it ideal for intricate work on thin or thicker metals and is more forgiving than Laser welding.

The process begins with the ionization of gas, often argon, to create plasma. This Plasma is then directed through a nozzle to generate a concentrated, high-temperature arc. The heat from this arc melts the metals, which fuse together upon cooling.

It is most frequently used as an alternate to the gas tungsten process (GTAW) . For most applications, the plasma arc process offers increased electrode life, reliable arc starting, improved arc stability, better penetration control and reduced current levels.  In some cases, plasma offers increased travel speeds, improved weld quality, and less sensitivity to operating variables.
