This paper shows an overview of all kinds of plasma arc cutting techniques which are actually applied to practical purposes. In respect to cutting in atmosphere, noxius emissions of noise, fumes, aerosols and harming gases. In respect to cutting under water, a number of special constructions for the decommissioning of nuclear facilities and for offshore applications are described, as the plasma saw, the staff torch, the modular torch and the low voltage short-circuiting arc ignition for greater depths of water. Also the influence of the surrounding water on the appearance of the cutting kerf and metallurgical changes in the heat-affected-zone are shown.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
