Steel Cutting
SteelPRO Group provides seven or more steel cutting methods, ensuring tailored solutions for every project. From precision cuts to heavy-duty materials, we deliver fast, reliable, and cost-effective services to meet your specific needs.
1. Laser Cutting
Advantages:
- High precision with minimal material waste.
- Clean cuts with smooth edges, reducing the need for additional finishing.
- Suitable for complex shapes and intricate designs.
- Can handle a variety of thicknesses and materials.
Cutting Size Range:
- Length: 100 mm to 12,000 mm
- Width: 100 mm to 3,000 mm
- Height: Flat sheets, typically not suitable for 3D objects
- Thickness: 0.5 mm to 30 mm (depending on material)
- Seam Width: 0.1 mm to 0.4 mm
- High Tolerance: ± 0.1 mm
- Additional Notable Limits: Laser beam width is typically less than 1 mm, allowing for intricate designs.
2. Plasma Cutting
Advantages:
- Fast cutting speeds, especially for thicker materials.
- Can cut electrically conductive metals.
- More cost-effective for thicker steel compared to laser cutting.
- Versatile in cutting different shapes and contours.
Cutting Size Range:
- Length: 50 mm to 6,000 mm
- Width: 50 mm to 3,000 mm
- Height: Flat sheets and some 3D shapes, limited complexity
- Thickness: 1 mm to 50 mm (can go up to 150 mm for specialized plasma systems)
- Seam Width: 1.5 mm to 3 mm
- High Tolerance: ± 0.5 mm
- Piercing Capacity: Plasma can pierce materials up to 40 mm thick without pre-drilling.
3. Waterjet Cutting
Advantages:
- No heat-affected zones, maintaining material integrity.
- Can cut virtually any material, including thick metals.
- High precision and ability to cut complex shapes.
- Environmentally friendly, using water and abrasives.
Cutting Size Range:
- Length: 100 mm to 7,000 mm
- Width: 100 mm to 4,000 mm
- Height: Suitable for both flat and contoured objects
- Thickness: 1 mm to 150 mm (up to 200 mm for softer materials)
- Seam Width: 0.8 mm to 1.2 mm
- High Tolerance: ± 0.1 mm to ± 0.2 mm
- Additional Notable Limits: Cutting angle tolerance is typically ± 1 degree for very thick materials.
4. Flame Cutting
Advantages:
- Cost-effective for thick steel sections.
- Can cut through very thick materials.
- No requirement for electricity, making it suitable for remote sites.
- Reliable and simple to use for basic cuts.
Cutting Size Range:
- Length: 500 mm to 20,000 mm
- Width: 500 mm to 5,000 mm
- Height: Primarily for flat, thick plates
- Thickness: 6 mm to 300 mm
- Seam Width: 2 mm to 6 mm
- High Tolerance: ± 1 mm
- Heat-Affected Zone: Flame cutting results in a heat-affected zone (HAZ) ranging from 1 mm to 5 mm from the edge of the cut, which may need further processing for certain applications.
5. Shearing & Slitting
Advantages:
- High-speed cutting, ideal for mass production.
- Very clean cuts with minimal waste.
- Excellent for cutting thin steel sheets and coils.
- Minimal material distortion.
Cutting Size Range:
- Length: 100 mm to 6,000 mm (depending on coil size)
- Width: 20 mm to 2,000 mm (slitting width can be as narrow as 20 mm)
- Height: Limited to flat sheets
- Thickness: 0.5 mm to 15 mm
- Seam Width: 0.1 mm to 0.5 mm (for slitting)
- High Tolerance: ± 0.2 mm
- Slit Edge Burr: Can range from 0.1 mm to 0.5 mm, depending on material and cutting method.
6. Electrochemical Cutting
Advantages:
- Non-contact cutting method, no heat-affected zones.
- Excellent for cutting thin and delicate parts.
- No tool wear, leading to consistent quality.
- Ideal for hard metals and alloys.
Cutting Size Range:
- Length: 10 mm to 1,000 mm (for small, precision parts)
- Width: 10 mm to 500 mm
- Height: Limited to thin, flat parts or small, precise cuts
- Thickness: 0.1 mm to 10 mm
- Seam Width: Less than 1 mm
- High Tolerance: ± 0.05 mm
- Edge Roughness: Electrochemical cutting results in edge roughness of less than 10 microns, making it ideal for delicate and precision applications.
7. Milling
Advantages:
- Can create intricate 3D shapes.
- Precise control over the material removal process.
- Can be used for cutting and shaping both flat and contoured parts.
- Suitable for prototyping and small production runs.
Cutting Size Range:
- Length: 50 mm to 3,000 mm
- Width: 50 mm to 1,000 mm
- Height: Suitable for 3D shapes, depending on the machine capacity
- Thickness: 1 mm to 100 mm (based on machine and cutter capacity)
- Seam Width: Varies with the cutter size, typically 1 mm to 10 mm
- High Tolerance: ± 0.02 mm to ± 0.1 mm
- Depth of Cut: Milling can handle incremental cuts ranging from 0.5 mm to 50 mm per pass, depending on the machine settings.
