Manufacturing companies define the qualities of thermal removing process based on the dimension and physical appearance of the cutting material surface. Therefore, the roughness of the surface area of the cutting material and the rate of the material being removed during the manual plasma arc cutting process was importantly considered. Plasma arc cutter Selco Genesis 90 was used to cut the specimens made from Standard AISI 1017 Steel manually based on the selected parameters setting. Two different thicknesses of specimens with 3mm and 6mm were used. The material removal rate (MRR) was measured by determining the weight of the specimens before and after the cutting process. The surface roughness (SR) analysis was conducted to determine the average roughness (Ra) value. Taguchi method was utilized as an experimental layout to obtain MRR and Ra values. The results reveal that for the case of manual plasma arc cutting machining, the SR values are inversely proportional to the MRR values. The quality of the surface roughness depends on the dross peak that occurred during the cutting process.

A variable interval fuzzy quantification algorithm with self-adjustable factor in full domain is proposed in this paper. It focuses on digital inverted plasma arc cutting power and studies strong nonlinearity and uncertainty of power. The neural network is also introduced to decouple cutting parameters variables in the multi-parameters coupling cutting process. This algorithm avoids complex nonlinear system modeling and realizes real-time and effective online control of cutting process by combining advantages of fuzzy control and neural network control. Furthermore, the optimized fuzzy control improves steady-state precision and dynamic performance of system simultaneously. The experimental result shows that this control improves precision, ripples, finish and other comprehensive index of work piece cut, and plasma arc cutting power supply based on fuzzy-neural network has excellent control performance.

Purpose This paper aims to work exhibits the temperature distribution over the surface of the workpiece during plasma arc cutting process. Design/methodology/approach The moving heat source is taken into consideration for calculating the heat created by plasma arc. The heat is generated at the plasma – liquid metal boundary. The heat of fusion is also considered for estimation because of molten layer separates the plasma and solid layer. This causes to hamper the heat transfer towards the melting front. Eliminating the heat resistance may calculation error at high cutting speed. Power required to melt the material depends on the speed of the cut. Findings Higher cutting speed increases the power required. The temperature drop over the layer of molten front increases as the speed of cut increases at higher Peclet number. Different thickness of the molten layer was taken for calculation i.e. zero thickness, 10 and 20 per cent. Originality/value The estimated results are shown in non-dimensional form. So, the method can be applied for any other types of material.
