Part of the Fundamental Manufacturing Processes Video Series, this program examines the three most commonly used thermal cutting processes: oxy-fuel, plasma, and laser, all of which use heat for cutting. Also examined is the abrasive waterjet cutting process which uses no heat, but cuts by abrasive erosion.
Divided into four sections, this program provides a detailed, comprehensive introduction to these cutting processes. Additionally, this program outlines the advantages and disadvantages to each of these cutting processes, and how they differ from more conventional metalcutting processes.
