Advantages of
plasma welding
over TIG welding

~ 45°
~ 5°
- Low component distortion thanks to the concentrated arc
- Smaller heat-affected zone
- Arc can be relatively long
- Higher temperature in the arc: Plasma up to 25,000°C (45,032°F) - TIG up to
10,000°C (18,032°F)
- No time-consuming seam preparation needed (e.g. square butt joint with material
thickness up to 10 mm)
- Higher welding speed
- Impossible for the tungsten electrode to dip into the weld pool
- Longer torch service life (with optimum torch cooling)

Application areas The digital PlasmaModule 10 is used in automated and manual applications, for example:
- in the automotive and component supply industry,
- in the manufacture of special vehicles and construction plant
- in pipeline and equipment construction
- in plant, container, machine and steel engineering
- in rail vehicle construction and shipbuilding
- in applications requiring the highest quality standards
- for welding materials with a sheet thickness of 0.4 - 10 mm (0.02 - 0.39 in.)
PlasmaModule 10 is generator-compatible and exceptionally sturdy in operation, thanks
to the protected controls and a powder-coated housing.
