Explanation of

Plasma
Plasma is a gas with positive charge carriers (ions) and negative charge carriers (elec-
trons). The ions and electrons determine the properties of a plasma.
Plasma can only be created at high temperature.
Plasma is known as the „fourth aggregate state of matter“, besides solid, liquid and
gaseous materials.
Plasma welding
Plasma welding is a welding process which uses a constricted arc as the heat source.
The arc is constricted by a cooled nozzle.
The following plasma welding processes are distinguished:
- Microplasma welding
- (Soft) plasma welding
- Plasma keyhole welding
- Plasma brazing
The digital PlasmaModule 10 can be used
with all TIG power sources from Fronius.
Together with an appropriate power
source, a cooling unit and a water-cooled
plasma torch, it allows plasma welding
processes to be carried out.
Thanks to the modular concept designed
by Fronius, PlasmaModule 10 can also be
used with existing welding systems.
As a stand-alone unit, PlasmaModule 10
can serve as a further component in a
complex welding system.
A self-explanatory, intuitive operating
concept makes PlasmaModule 10 easy to
work with. The welder can see the key
functions at a glance and adjust them
accordingly.
In view of the modular product design, the
digital PlasmaModule 10 is extremely
flexible and can be adapted to many types
of task.
