What Is A Plasma Torch?

a plasma torch is used to cut metals at a high speed . It uses a controlled electrical arc and compressed air to cut/blow the liquified metal out of the path of the arc..basically...makes a very nice clean cut hardly no clean up necessary... It can be a handheld torch/gun or a computer operated cutting head/heads used for multiple cuts at the same time...

Plasma is the fourth state of matter (gas, liquid, solid, plasma). Lightning and flame are plasma. Plasma torches are basically an electrical arc that super heats a jet of air in a cone, the super heated air and arc are the plasma that melt the metal, and the force of the compressed air (or other gas) blow out the metal that is melted by the plasma.
