PRINCIPLES
The term plasma applies
to gases at temperatures
exceeding 3000 °C at
atmospheric pressure
On the temperature scale,
it can be regarded as the
fourth state of matter after
the solid, liquid and gaseous
states

MARKETS ADVANTAGES
Shipbuilding industry Significant reduction of welding fume emission, making welding
safer and more comfortable, particularly in a confined environment
General construction
Better visibility of the weld pool
Less cleaning of welded pieces and lower consumption of wear
parts through low spatter level
Low oxidizing shielding gas/Metal Cored CRISTAL combination :
fume reduction up to 86%
Good weldability
