Materials Used in Plasma Cutting
Most materials used in plasma cutting are electro conductive metals. Some of them are alloys. An alloy is a combination of metals, or a combination of a metal and elements. Below is a chart that identifies the name of the material, density, stress strength, color, and its crystal structure.
