Cutting surfaces compared The liquid working medium contains no nitrogen. This prevents nitriding of the cut edges and reduces the risk of pore formation during the next welding session TransCut 300 Air plasma allows the cut surfaces to nitride and oxidise more heavily Air plasma Material: stainless steel 1.4301
