What is suitable for cutting zinc?

Zinc is a relatively soft metal that is best processed using plasma cutting technology. Plasma cutting is an excellent choice for cutting zinc because it allows precise cuts in a variety of metals. In addition, the plasma jet is hot enough to melt the zinc and at the same time cools quickly enough to produce a precise cut edge without distorting the surrounding material.

With the right settings and control, a plasma cutting machine can ensure high quality and repeatability. This makes them ideal for both single pieces and mass production. In addition, plasma cutting machines are economically attractive due to their versatility and efficiency. The speed at which plasma cutting machines work is also worth mentioning - they are able to cut metals such as zinc faster than other cutting techniques.

Which cutting method is the best depends on various factors. The type of metal itself, the cutting thickness and the required cutting quality all have an influence on this. The cutting speed can also play a role depending on the production volume.

 

 

Pure water alone cannot cut through steel, as plain water is not hard enough. But with waterjet cutting, the water can be mixed with abrasives such as garnet sand. This massively strengthens the water jet so that steel and other hard materials can be cut precisely.
