Nowadays, the main task of a locksmith is cold metal processing – manually or with the use of power tools. The scope of work of a locksmith includes small parts of mechanisms, minor machining and manual processing of steel, stainless steel and aluminum surfaces.
A locksmith is treated as a welder’s assistant, because he is very often responsible for preparing materials for welding and their subsequent processing in order to apply protective coatings.
The very wide range of skills that a locksmith must have include everything related to mechanics (assembly and disassembly of devices), cutting, sawing, drilling, riveting, soldering and skills in the field of electrical engineering and hydraulics. Also metal science is a very important field of knowledge that a locksmith must acquire – testing the hardness, strength, elasticity, impact strength, plasticity and other basic characteristics of metals is the knowledge necessary for the proper performance of locksmith’s profession.

Plasma cutting - what is it?
Plasma cutting is a metalworking process that uses a plasma arc to cut the workpiece. This method uses a large amount of electricity, which, held between the material and the electrode, melts the material, giving it specific parameters. This process is performed manually, using plasma cutters, or is mechanized, using CNC technology and industrial robots.
Like laser cutting, plasma cutting is a non-contact process that uses plasma to cut material, both thin and thick, while minimizing tool wear.
Principles of plasma cutting
Plasma cutting uses a concentrated plasma arc, which, held between the processed material and the electrode, melts the material, giving it a specific shape and parameters. The process uses compressed gas, which is blown through a nozzle onto the material being processed, where an electric arc is created through the electrode and thus the plasma channel. This allows it to reach high temperatures, thanks to which the material is cut and, at the same time, blown out.
Application of plasma cutting
Plasma cutting is a heat treatment process with a wide range of applications. Like laser cutting and waterjet cutting, it is primarily used for processing metals such as steel, aluminum, copper or bronze. It is important that this material should conduct electricity. Its wide application allows it to be used in a wide range of industries, such as automotive, aviation, food, construction and many others.
Depending on the tool and technique used, this process can cut various thicknesses of material. If we use manual devices, it is estimated that we can process material up to 75 mm thick, while the use of mechanized tools allows us to cut surfaces up to 160 mm thick.
Advantages of plasma cutting
Plasma cutting is a process with a wide range of applications due to its numerous advantages. These include:
- High-speed cutting - Cutting with this method allows you to pierce the material faster without additional heating
- Creating minimal heat affected zones - This process has minimal temperature impact on the processed material.
- Wide range of cutting thicknesses - Depending on the tool used (manual or mechanized), this method can be used to cut materials with a thickness of 0.5 mm up to 160 mm.
- Wide range of applications - It can be used both for flat surfaces, such as sheet metal, but also for 3D elements, such as pipes and profiles.
- Precision and quality - Using this method, a high-quality cut with specific parameters is created, which strengthens the processed material.
Factors influencing plasma cutting
In plasma cutting, key factors will be related to the tool itself and the selected technique. Of course, these are not the only important parameters. This process may be influenced by:
- Gas used - The use of a specific gas is one of the most important parameters of plasma cutting. Oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen or argon will be used depending on the requirements of a specific order.
- Processed material - Depending on whether we want to create an element from steel or another electrically conductive material, we will choose a different cutting method and different details.
- Application - Plasma is not only about cutting. It can also be used for marking, where a different gas is used and the material is processed differently.
- Current intensity - Selecting the appropriate current intensity will be directly responsible for the strength of the plasma arc, which ensures the quality of the created element.
- Tool used - Whether we use a manual or mechanized cutting machine, will be crucial to ensure the highest quality and appropriate execution time. Other related parameters are also important, such as the nozzle diameter or the position of the burner.
Frequently asked questions
What is plasma cutting?
Plasma cutting involves the use of gas and a concentrated plasma arc, which cut and blow out the processed material under the influence of high temperature.
What is used when cutting with this method?
Special tools are used, such as manual or mechanized cutting machines that use CNC technology. The gas used is also important and will depend on the material being processed and the application. It may be oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen or argon.
What are the main advantages of plasma cutting compared to other methods?
The main advantages of plasma cutting are its high speed, which allows for faster processing, as well as a wide range of cutting thicknesses – from 0.5 mm to 160 mm. This allows the process to be widely used not only for flat surfaces, but also for 3D elements.
What is the difference between a laser and a plasma?
Both techniques have many advantages, laser cutting provides greater overall precision and wider applications, while plasma cutting is ideal for electrically conductive materials. Plasma also allows the processing of thicker materials compared to a laser.
Which method should I choose for my project?
The choice of a specific method will depend on the project parameters. If you are not sure which of them will better meet your expectations, contact us and our helpful and experienced technologists will be happy to advise you so that you will get the best possible results.
