7 PLASMA CUTTING THEORY

A gas becomes a plasma when it is brought to an extremely
high temperature and ionizes wholly or partly, thus becoming
electrically conductive.
Although the plasma exists in every electric arc, by the term
"plasma arc" we refer specifically to a torch for welding/cutting
that uses an electric arc passing through the constricting neck of
a suitable nozzle in order to heat a gas coming out of this same
nozzle, so as to bring it to the plasma state.
