Characterization of Plasma Cut Surfaces with Water Bed Welding Metallic Materials

Article Preview

Abstract:

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the quality of cut surfaces with plasma in the free atmosphere and in the water bed of metallic materials being welded. This process leads to savings in labor, materials, supplies and other costs of production, having as purpose the decrease in the cost of cutting the work piece and reducing deformation and heat affected zone in the piece cut, providing alternatives to processing cutting. It was designed and built a device cutting water bed that has been proven. In the macroscopic analysis reveals that the cutting in water bed slag layer is lower. After microhardness measurements (base material, heat affected zone, the cut) it is found that the cutting in water bed cut occurs on the surface microhardness increased by 36% .
