What Are the Differences Between Flame Cutting and Plasma Cutting for Thick and Thin Plate Applications?

February 25, 2025

Flame cutting and plasma cutting are the two core functions of a CNC Gantry Type Cutting Machine. Flame cutting, which uses high-temperature oxygen combustion, is ideal for carbon steel plates above 20mm, with capacities up to 300mm. It is cost-effective and widely adopted in heavy industries.

A High Definition Plasma Cutting Machine excels at thin-to-medium plate processing, offering high cutting speeds, smooth edges, and minimal heat distortion. This makes it perfect for stainless steel and aluminum, eliminating the need for secondary finishing.

By combining both methods in one CNC gantry system, manufacturers can handle various materials and thicknesses, achieving an optimal balance of cost and efficiency.
