Chapter 8, Problem 1R
List the types of metal that a plasma torch can be used to cut.
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The metals that are used to cut with plasma torch.
Explanation of Solution
Plasma is used as plasma welding as well as plasma cutting process. Plasma cutting is used to cut the metal without too much heat that will give distortion free cutting. This process can be used to cut thin metal sheet without any distortion or deflection. Plasma cutting machine is easy and portable to use as compare to oxyacetylene. This process is also very cheap process to cut the metal. Plasma machine can cut any type of metals such as:
- Stainless steel.
- Aluminum.
- Mild steel (4 mm to 150 mm thick).
- Stainless steel.
- Cast iron.

The elastic bar from Problem 1 spins with angular velocity ω about an axis, as shown in the figure below. The radial acceleration at a generic point x along the bar is a(x) = ω 2 x. Under this radial acceleration, the bar stretches along x with displacement function u(x). The displacement u(x) is governed by the following equations: ( d dx (σ(x)) + ρa(x) = 0 PDE σ(x) = E du dx Hooke’s law (2) where σ(x) is the axial stress in the rod, ρ is the mass density, and E is the (constant) Young’s modulus.
