Stainless steel plate cutting

Stainless steel plate cutting refers to the process of cutting or cutting stainless steel plates according to the required size and shape. The following is related to stainless steel plate cutting:

1. Cutting methods: Common stainless steel plate cutting methods include mechanical cutting, oxygen cutting, plasma cutting, laser cutting, etc. Choosing the appropriate cutting method depends on factors such as sheet thickness, accuracy requirements, and production volume.

2. Mechanical cutting: Mechanical cutting is usually carried out using equipment such as band saws, shears or scissors. This method is suitable for thinner stainless steel plates, but there may be certain limitations in terms of cutting accuracy and speed.

3. Oxygen cutting: Oxygen cutting is the use of high temperature oxidation reaction to cut metal materials. Cutting is carried out by spraying high-purity oxygen and simultaneously adding combustion agents (such as propane) to form oxides on the surface of stainless steel at high temperatures. This method is suitable for thicker stainless steel plates, but it will lead to oxide residue on the incision and require subsequent treatment.

4. Plasma cutting: Plasma cutting is the use of high temperature plasma to cut metal materials. Cutting is achieved by forming a plasma on the stainless steel surface and adding an inert gas (such as nitrogen or argon) to melt and evaporate the stainless steel plate. This method is suitable for larger thickness of stainless steel plate, with high cutting speed and accuracy.

5. Laser cutting: Laser cutting is the use of high energy laser beam to cut metal materials. Laser cutting can achieve high precision, non-contact cutting process, suitable for a variety of stainless steel plate thickness and shape cutting needs.

6. Precautions: When cutting stainless steel plates, pay attention to the following: Select the appropriate cutting method and equipment; Keep the cutting area dry to avoid contamination and oxidation; Take protective measures as required to ensure the safety of operators; Select the appropriate subsequent treatment method according to the cutting method, such as removing oxides, grinding, etc.

In short, stainless steel plate cutting is an important processing technology, choosing the right cutting method and precautions can ensure the accuracy and quality of stainless steel plate.
