An arc cutting procedure used to form a bevel or groove.

The axial force developed by an arc plasma.

References burn-off characteristics. Moderate arc energy is typical of Atom Arc. A 316L electrode has lower arc energy than a 7018 where as a 6010 has more.

A group of thermal cutting processes that severs or removes metal by melting with the heat of an arc between an electrode and the work piece.

Welding with direct current may set up a magnetic field in the steel plate being welded. This magnetic field causes the arc to flutter and blow, creating difficulty in controlling the arc.
