Abstract
This videotape examines the three most commonly used thermal cutting processes:
oxy-fuel, plasma, and laser, all of which use heat for cutting. Also examined
is the abrasive waterjet cutting process which uses no heat, but cuts by abrasive
erosion. Divided into four sections, this program provides a detailed, comprehensive
introduction to these cutting processes. Additionally, this tape outlines the
advantages and disadvantages to each of these cutting processes, and how they
differ from more conventional metalcutting processes.
