HUKINGS Solid State Microwave Generator for Plasma Cutter

Solution
Plasma cutter is a machine that cuts through electrically conductive materials by means of an
accelerated jet of hot plasma. Plasma cutter is famous for the low cost, quick cutting speed which
is several times of oxyfuel cutting, safe dependable, smooth cutting & little distortion, suitable for
variety of metals & thickness because of high speed stream plasma preventing the metal to
molten slag.
How Plasma Cutters Work?
Plasma cutters work by sending a pressurized gas, such as nitrogen, argon, or air, through a small
channel.

In the center of this channel, you'll find a negatively charged electrode. When you apply power to
the negative electrode, and you touch the tip of the nozzle to the metal, the connection creates a
circuit. A powerful spark is generated between the electrode and the metal by microwave. As the
inert gas passes through the channel, the spark heats the gas until it reaches the fourth state of
matter. We all are familiar with the first three: i.e., solid, liquid, and gas. Scientists call this
additional state plasma. This reaction creates a stream of directed plasma, approximately 30,000
F (16,649 C) and moving at 20,000 feet per second (6,096 m/sec), which reduces metal to molten
slag.
The plasma itself conducts electrical current. The cycle of creating the arc is continuous as long as
power is supplied to the electrode and the plasma stays in contact with the metal that is being
cut. In order to ensure this contact, protect the cut from oxidation and regulate the unpredictable
nature of plasma, the cutter nozzle has a second set of channels. These channels release a
constant flow of shielding gas around the cutting area. The pressure of this gas flow effectively
controls the radius of the plasma beam.

The Argument for Plasma Cutter

Plasma arc cutting has been praised for its ability to cut thin metals (<50 mm) quickly, neatly, and
with a minimal heat-affected zone - minimizing distortion and warpage. It is also typically a clean
cut, with minimal cleanup as any dross is blown clear of the workpiece. This method continues to
gain market share in the metal cutting industry as equipment becomes less expensive, units
become smaller due to inverter-based technology, and it continues to prove itself as a viable
cutting option. Plasma arc systems can cut all electrically conductive metals, including aluminum
and stainless steel. These two metals cannot be cut by oxyfuel cutting systems due to an oxide
layer that prevents oxidation from occurring. If your day-to-day business involves cutting
aluminum and stainless steel, a plasma arc cutting system is the right tool for you.
