Study of plasma cutting efficiency with different operating parameters

Plasma, a fourth state of matter distinct from solid or liquid or gas and present in stars and fusion reactors; a gas becomes plasma when it is heated until atoms lose all their electrons, leaving a highly electrified collection of nuclei and free electrons. The usage of advanced machining, such...
