Oxygen and acetylene. A cutting head for an oxy-acetelyne torch has a trigger with greatly increases the oxygen in the mixture when activated. To cut, the excess oxygen in the flame basically burns the metal away.

Which can be categorized as a use of plasma in technology?

Plasma is used in technology for applications such as plasma TVs for display screens, plasma cutting for precise metal cutting, and plasma processing for semiconductor manufacturing.


What is the purpose of plasma cutting?

Plasma cutting plays the purpose of separating or cutting metals of different kinds but mostly steel. In this process, gas is changed into plasma which is hot enough to melt the steel. Strong air is also produced to blow away the melted steel. A plasma torch is used in this process.


Is plasma cutting cleaner then a torch cutting system?

How does a plasma torch work?

A plasma torch works by generating an electric arc between two electrodes, creating a high-temperature plasma as gas is ionized. This plasma can reach temperatures of several thousand degrees Celsius, making it capable of melting or cutting through various materials. In industrial applications, the gas, often argon or nitrogen, is injected into the torch, where it becomes ionized, allowing for precise control of the heat and energy output. The resulting plasma jet can be directed to perform tasks such as welding, cutting, or surface treatment.
