2.04 Introduction
Plasma is a gas which has been heated to an
extremely high temperature and ionized so that
it becomes electrically conductive. The plasma
arc cutting process uses this plasma to transfer
an electrical arc to the workpiece. The metal to
be cut is melted by the heat of the arc and then
blown away.
