Qualitative study of steel cutting with the use of the narrow jet plasma technology

Abstract

By metallography and optical interferometry methods, the structure of 09G2S steel cutting seams fabricated with the use of narrow jet plasma technology is analyzed. The high quality of the seams allows welding without the removal of the heat-affected zones. The application of the new narrow jet plasma cutting technology provides high-quality welding seams, high efficiency of the process, and low energy consumption. © 2017, Pleiades Publishing, Ltd.
