Research of the influence of hydroabrasive surface cleaning on plasma cutting

Abstract

On the example of plasma cutting of 1.0038 steel, the features of hydroabrasive (EPS) cleaning are shown. The basic requirements for the quality of the cut surface and a wide range of material properties due to the characteristics of the power tool are formulated. The formation of the heat-affected zone, its structure and properties, the formation of macro- and microgeometry of the cut depending on the working gas used are described. The influence of plasma cutting parameters on ensuring the necessary quality and properties of steel is considered.
