4T.02 Cut Quality
NOTE!
Cut quality depends heavily on
setup and parameters such as
torch standoff, alignment with the
w o r k p i e c e , c u t t i n g s p e e d , g a s
pressures, and operator ability.
Cut quality requirements differ depending on
application. For instance, nitride build - up and
bevel angle may be major factors when the
surface will be welded after cutting. Dross - free
cutting is important when finish cut quality is
desired to avoid a secondary cleaning operation.
The following cut quality characteristics are
illustrated in the following figure:
