Découpage par jet de plasma. [...] Dans ce système, le courant de gaz [...], contraint de passer dans l'arc électrique qui s’établit entre une électrode de tungstène et la pièce à découper, acquiert une température très élevée [...] et une grande vitesse à la sortie de la buse. Ce jet de plasma permet d’exécuter des découpes parfaites sur les métaux et les alliages qui ne peuvent être découpés, ou le sont difficilement, par oxycoupage [...] 3, record 1, French, - coupage%20plasma
