PLASMA WELDING

The basis of the plasma process is very similar to TIG but has a number of critical advantages. These make it an interesting alternative to

laser welding where tough quality demands have to be met, especially on sheets and other components with a sheet thickness of up to 8

mm (0.31 in.).

In Plasma Welding, the arc is constricted by a cooled gas nozzle. The powerfully bunched arc that results eliminates the need for time

consuming joint preparation. This saves as much as 30% of the filler metal. In turn, the higher welding speed saves time and costs and at

the same time ensuring deeper penetration.
