Plasma Cutting

Plasma cutting, or electric arc cutting, provides a faster more precise option for cutting carbon, stainless and aluminum plate.

Plasma cutting, or electric arc cutting, is suitable for thin and thick plates alike for most conventional steel products. With Castle Metals, customers benefit from:

• State-of-the-Art plasma torches provide uniform cuts with minimum bevel through 5 inches thick.
• Heavy duty gantry machines providing for good part definition even at high cutting speeds so you get square corners as well as a good cut.
• CNC controlled for maximum precision and accuracy.
• High cutting speeds, providing minimal thermal distribution which helps to maintain flatness.
• Shallower heat affected zones than with flame cutting.
