Plasma Gas Plasma gas is the gas used to create the plasma arc in plasma cutting and welding processes. Commonly used plasma gases include argon, nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen, and compressed air. The plasma gas is ionized by an electric arc to form a high-temperature plasma jet that is directed towards the material being cut or welded.
Plasma gases play a crucial role in controlling the characteristics of the plasma arc, such as temperature, velocity, and stability, which in turn influence cutting or welding performance, quality, and efficiency. Selecting the appropriate plasma gas for a specific application depends on factors such as material type, thickness, and desired cutting or welding speed. |
