The effects of different Ar/H2/N2 plasma gas mixtures on the performance of stainless steel plasma cutting has been investigated experimentally using a plasma arc cutting torch working at 400A. Results of the microstructural and compositional analysis of the kerf surface using SEM - EDS show that the presence of N2 or Air in the plasma arc column can affect the chemical composition and microstructural characteristics of the kerf surface, influencing machinability and weldability.
