Non-ferrous (stainless steel and aluminum) processes
Non-ferrous (stainless steel and aluminum) processes that appear in the XPR cut charts were
developed using the following metals:
 304L and 316L stainless steel
 6061 aluminum
It is possible, however, to cut other types of stainless steel and aluminum.
Non-ferrous process availability is based on the type of gas connect console that you have (Core,
VWI, or OptiMix).
