There are many ways to cut
steel plates, but they can generally be divided into two categories: thermal cutting and cold cutting. Thermal cutting generally includes flame cutting, plasma cutting or laser cutting, while cold cutting generally adopts ordinary shearing method or water jet cutting method.
In the specific steel plate cutting operation, we need to choose different steel plate cutting methods according to the comprehensive conditions such as the thickness and material of the steel plate. In steel plate processing operations, the thickness of the steel plate is the main factor affecting the choice of the steel plate cutting method.
Depending on the thickness, steel plates can be divided into thin plates (0.2mm-4.5mm), medium and thick plates (4.5mm-25mm), thick plates (25mm-100mm) and extra-thick plates (>100mm). Before cutting the steel plate, the steel plate cutting method should be selected according to the different thickness of the steel plate. For example, when cutting regular thin steel plates such as rectangles and triangles, you can choose a shearing machine, which not only has high speed, guaranteed quality, but also low cost. In addition to shearing, the cost of flame cutting is not high, and the operation is more flexible and free, which can cut steel plates of different shapes.
As for steel plate laser cutting, the cost of this method will be relatively high, because the price of steel plate laser cutting equipment is higher than other equipment, so the cost will be relatively high. However, the precision of laser cutting of steel plates is high, which can meet the needs of some difficult customers.
The last is water flow cutting, which has a wide cutting range, high precision, is not easy to deform, and is more environmentally friendly. However, the water flow cutting method is slower and consumes more energy. Therefore, we can choose the steel plate processing method according to the situation.
