    Plasma, Oxyfuel Cutting

    Titus Steel’s commitment to quality extends to our cutting and processing technology. To ensure that each project is executed with maximum accuracy, we offer high definition underwater plasma and oxyfuel steel cutting with True Hole technology.

    The links above offer more resources to learn more, but the quick run-down of our cutting technology:

    • Plasma Steel Cutting Service – Plasma cutting is a technique by which a torch uses a stream of hot plasma ignited by an electrical arc between the torch and the conductive material being cut.
    • Oxyfuel Steel Cutting Service – Unlike plasma cutting, oxyfuel cutting does not require an electrical ark between the torch and the material being cut, instead using an oxygen based flame to cut the Oxyfuel is necessary for non-conductive materials, and can be used to cut thicker plates up to 8”.
    • High Definition – By using CNC high-precision computer driven technology, we are able to make precise, accurate, and complicated parts with no bevel on the cut edge.
    • Underwater Steel Cutting Service – Underwater cutting, as opposed to ‘dry cutting’, produces a much smaller Heat Affected Zone (HAZ). This helps to maintain the chemical composition of the steel while minimizing the risk of heat-warping during the cut due to expansion or contraction of the material as it is cools.
    • True Hole Technology – This cutting technology ensures that large or small holes are at a right-angles to the plate, rather than the slight-beveling that one gets with a conventional plasma.

    At over 484 square feet in area, our cutting table is among the largest and can handle 2 plates up to 98” x 240” at the same time. Employing larger plates maximizes “nesting” of your parts for greater saving and less waste.

    Titus Steel can offer precision cutting tolerances, high production of multiple parts and economical ‘nesting’ algorithms to get the most out of each plate.

    • Quick same day turn-around
    • Plasma cutting up to 2”, Oxyfuel cutting up to 6”
    • Speeds up 170” per minute for ½” steel
    • Tolerances of 0.200”
    • Smooth edge quality eliminating the need for secondary cutting
    • True hole technology
    • Underwater cutting for reduced HAZ
    • Mig, Tig, and Sub Arc welding

    Waterjet Cutting

    Waterjet cutting steel is a manufacturing process that uses a high-pressure stream of water, often mixed with an abrasive material (like garnet), to cut through steel and other tough materials. This method to cut steel is used because it provides precise, clean cuts without generating heat, which can alter the properties of the steel. Titus Steel has a large table 166” x 83” and a 80,000 PSI compressor to achieve a cutting speed of 20” per minute.

    How It Works

    1. High-Pressure Water Jet: Water is pressurized up to 60,000 psi (or more) and forced through a small nozzle.
    2. Abrasive Addition (Optional): For cutting steel, an abrasive (usually garnet) is mixed into the water stream to enhance cutting power.
    3. Erosion Cutting: The high-speed jet erodes the material, slicing through steel up to several inches thick.
    4. No Heat-Affected Zone (HAZ): Unlike laser or plasma cutting, water jet cutting doesn’t heat the material, preventing warping or metallurgical changes.

    Advantages

    1. Cuts thick and thin steel with high precision.
    2. No heat damage to the material.
    3. Can cut complex shapes and intricate designs.
    4. Environmentally friendly, as it doesn’t produce hazardous fumes or dust.

    Common Applications

    • Cutting stainless steel, carbon steel, and hardened steel.
    • Making machine parts, automotive components, and aerospace materials.
    • Engraving and decorative metalwork.
