What is the difference between torch cutting and plasma cutting?

Torch cutting, also known as oxy-fuel cutting, uses a combination of fuel gas and oxygen to cut through metal, primarily steel. Plasma cutting, on the other hand, uses an electrically conductive gas (plasma) to slice through various metals, including aluminum and stainless steel. Plasma cutting is faster and more precise but is better suited for thinner materials compared to torch cutting.

Which metals can be cut with plasma cutting?

Plasma cutting works well on conductive metals, including steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, and copper. It’s widely used in industries that require fast and accurate metal cutting.

What is gouging, and when is it used?

Gouging is a process used to remove metal by melting it away, often to prepare a surface for welding or repair. It’s commonly used to remove welds, cracks, or defective metal from parts before making repairs. Plasma gouging offers more precision and control compared to traditional grinding methods.

When to use torch cutting instead of plasma cutting?

Torch cutting is ideal for cutting thicker steel, as the oxy-fuel process can generate higher temperatures. It’s a good option for heavy-duty industrial applications where the metal is too thick for plasma cutting.

What safety precautions are needed for plasma cutting and gouging?

Both plasma cutting and gouging require safety gear, including welding helmets, gloves, and protective clothing. The process produces bright sparks, welding fumes, and intense heat, so it's important to work in a well-ventilated area and maintain proper shielding to prevent burns and eye damage.
