Stainless steel cutting methods

1. Flame cutting: The cost of cutting equipment using this method is low. Although it is an effective method for cutting thick metal plates, there are still defects in thin plate cutting. Compared with plasma, flame cutting has a larger heat-affected zone and greater thermal deformation.

2. Laser cutting: Laser cutting equipment can cut stainless steel plates less than 30 mm, and after adding oxygen to the laser beam, it can cut 40 mm thick carbon steel. However, after oxygen cutting, an oxide film will be formed on the surface.

3. Wire cutting: It can also be called wire cutting processing. Developed on the basis of EDM punching and molding. It not only develops the application of EDM, but also replaces EDM's punching and molding in some aspects.

4. Edge trimming: Edge trimming uses a movable upper blade and a fixed lower blade, and uses a suitable blade gap to apply shearing force to metal plates of different thicknesses to cut and separate the plates according to the required size.

5. Plasma cutting: This cutting method uses the high-temperature plasma heat in the plasma cutting machine to melt the metal in the cut of the workpiece, and uses the momentum of high-speed plasma to remove the molten metal to form the cut.
