ABSTRACT The Plasma Arc Cutting (PAC) process was developed for difficult-to-machine
materials in order to overcome the inefficiency and ineffectiveness of conventional …

Among the non-traditional manufacturing processes, electro-thermal based processes are
used to machine the difficult to cut materials. Among thermal based unconventional …

The Inconel-718 is one of the most demanding advanced engineering materials because of
its superior quality. The conventional machining techniques are facing many problems to cut …

Plasma cutting is an effective way to cut hard metals. In this process, three output
parameters cutting width (kerf), surface roughness (Ra) and heat-affected zone (HAZ) are …

The laser beam, plasma arc, and oxygen cutting methods are widely used in metal cutting
processes. These methods are quite different from each other in terms of initial setup cost …

The work focuses on assessing the optimal machining conditions which could
simultaneously satisfy multiple process performance indices during machining of AISI D2 …

The article presents results of tests concerning the effect of technological parameters of the
plasma arc cutting process (involving the use of air as plasma gas) on the quality of cut …

In general, the thermal cutting processes of steel plates are considered to have an influence
on microstructures and residual stress distribution, which determines the mechanical …

The investigation was carried out by making use of the design of experiments method in
order to achieve its objective, which was to study wear analysis in relation to a cryogenically …

Plasma machining was investigated for suitability to cut thin sheets and the quality obtained
was assessed. The aim of this research was to analyse the impact of the heat generated …
