Which way to cut wear-resistant steel plate is better
There are many ways to cut wear-resistant steel plates, including flame cutting, plasma cutting, laser cutting, wire cutting and water knife cutting, etc., and the most commonly used is flame cutting and plasma cutting, then, what are the advantages and disadvantages of flame cutting and plasma cutting? Which way to cut wear-resistant steel plate is better?
What are the advantages and disadvantages of flame cutting and plasma cutting?
Advantages of flame cutting:
1. Flame cutting wear-resistant steel plate thickness range
2. Low flame cutting cost
3. Flame cutting has low site requirements and is easy to use
Disadvantages of flame cutting:
1. The heat affected zone of flame cutting will be larger than that of plasma, and the hardness damage to wear-resistant steel plate is also relatively large.
2. Flame cutting needs to be preheated, and the cutting speed is slow.
3. Flame cutting can not cut colored gold, such as stainless steel, high carbon steel, etc.
Advantages of plasma cutting:
1. CNC plasma cutting machine can cut non-ferrous metal sheet
2. Plasma cutting wear-resistant plate cutting speed is fast, high efficiency, cutting speed can reach 10m/min or more;
3. When cutting wear-resistant steel plates, the flexibility of plasma cutting is higher.
4. The plasma cutting wear-resistant plate has low maintenance cost after use.
Disadvantages of plasma cutting:
1. Need to buy a supporting plasma power supply in the early stage, so the early cost is high.
2. When the plasma cuts the wear-resistant steel plate, there will be a certain Angle cut into a V shape.
3. If the arc is below 6mm, then plasma must be used to cut. Cutting more than 50mm steel plate is difficult, requires a large power plasma power supply, the cost is high.
4. The plasma cutting machine can eliminate the noise, dust, harmful gas and arc pollution generated during cutting, and effectively improve the environment of the workplace.
Which way to cut wear-resistant steel plate is better?
For the cutting of wear-resistant steel plate, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the thickness, hardness, cutting accuracy, cost and other factors, combined with the advantages and disadvantages of various cutting methods to choose the most suitable wear-resistant steel plate cutting method.
