Plasma cutting process is a method based on melting the steel or other material. The material must be able to conduct electricity. Electricity is used to heat the material, and the melt is blown out of the cut with the plasma gas beam.

This makes plasma cutting independent of the limitations which apply to autogenously cutting. The method can therefore be used on steel and most metals. The plasma cutting process uses a plasma gas and a secondary gas/shielding gas.

The method is used in a water bath to avoid smoke/light from the process, or in the air with an exhaust opening for smoke.

Plasma cutting works and creates a profile by sending an electric arc through a gas passing through a constricted area. The temperature of the gas then enters a 4th state of matter.

The first 3 being solid, liquid and gas. Scientists call this additional state plasma.

As steel being cut is part of the circuit, the electrical conductivity of the plasma causes the arc to transfer to the work. The arc temperature is roughly 9 times the surface temperature of the sun.
