Introduction to different cutting methods for medium and thick plates

During the use of plate manufacturing equipment, it is required to first cut the plate into different sizes according to the manufacturing request, so that the finished plate can be put into application immediately. In the metal processing industry, plate cutting is a very common process operation mode, and the staff can select the appropriate cutting method according to the plate application request. So what methods can be used in the process of cutting medium and thick plates?

Flame cutting: This method has low cost and is an effective means to cut thick metal plates. However, the technical requirements for operators are relatively high, so attention should be paid to the thermal deformation of metal.

Laser cutting: stainless steel less than 4mm can be cut. If oxygen is added to the laser beam, the thickness can be increased to 20mm. The equipment is expensive.

Wire cutting: it is the abbreviation of electric spark wire cutting, which uses electric spark to conduct linear cutting on steel plate.

Plate shearing machine: It is a process in forging machinery to cut with upper blade and fixed lower blade.

Plasma cutting machine: use high temperature to melt part or part of the metal at the incision, and then use high-speed plasma to eliminate to form the incision.

High pressure water cutting: ordinary water is sprayed through a thin nozzle after being pressurized to achieve high speed jet cutting. This method is also called high pressure water cutting.

In fact, there are many cutting methods for medium and thick plates, so you can choose the cutting method according to the actual situation when cutting medium and thick plates.
