Cutting method of steel plate

In steel processing, steel plate cutting is the most common, so which steel plate cutting methods do you know? Today BBN mainly talks about steel plate cutting methods, such as: plate cutter, flame cutting steel plate, plasma cutting steel plate, laser cutting steel plate and so on.

There are many methods of steel plate cutting, which can be divided into: the method of steel plate cutting is divided according to whether it is automatic or not, and the method of steel plate cutting is divided according to the technical field. Let's introduce these two cutting methods in detail!
The method of steel plate cutting is divided automatically according to whether or not
1. Manual cutting of steel plate
(1) . generally, flame cutting is used. This cutting method is to hold a cutting gun and use acetylene / gas plus oxygen.
(2) Plasma cutting is also manual, but it is seldom used for steel plate. Stainless steel and other non-ferrous metals are very common.
2. Semiautomatic
Through the track plus the semi-automatic flame cutting machine, the semi-automatic machine is also very common now. Before the CNC cutting machine was not popular, the thick steel plate was cut by the semi-automatic flame cutting machine and the profiling machine.
3. Automatic CNC cutting machine
With the maturity and promotion of plasma technology, plasma cutting is generally used, followed by flame cutting, water jet cutting and laser cutting.

Steel plate cutting by technical field
1. Flame cut steel plate
This is the most traditional steel plate cutting method, which is widely used in the field. The biggest advantage is that it can cut very thick steel plate and is convenient to carry. The disadvantage is that it cannot cut stainless steel plate.
2. Plasma cutting
This requires the assistance of air compressor. With the rise of CNC full automation, CNC plasma cutting steel plate is very popular at present. Advantages: fast cutting speed, general cutting accuracy, low cutting cost, ability to cut stainless steel and other metals. Disadvantages: cutting steel plate has a certain slope. Of course, the groove size depends on the skill of the technician.
3. Water jet cutting
This is also an old method of cutting steel plate, advantages: in addition to steel plate, other metal or non-metal plates can be cut, disadvantages: cutting thick steel plate is extremely low efficiency, high cutting cost.
4. Laser cutting
At present, laser cutting is not very popular, because it has obvious limitations on the thickness of cutting steel plate, advantages: the steel plate cutting is relatively fast, the cutting seam of cutting steel plate is neat without burr, the cutting accuracy is high, and other metals or nonmetals can be cut, disadvantages: thick steel plate can not be cut, and the cutting cost is high.
