Analytical comparison between laser and plasma metal cutting techniques to determine the use preference of both

Advanced industrial technologies are of particular importance in the field of metal industries, due to their important role in various manufacturing processes because of their multiple operational capabilities that give them the ability to solve many manufacturing problems in the fastest time and at the lowest costs, and each technology is characterized by special capabilities and capabilities, allowing the factory Many alternatives and options that he can differentiate and compare between them to choose the most appropriate and best for the manufacturing process.

The most important and most widely used of these techniques in the field of metal industries are laser and plasma metal cutting techniques, so the research aims to study the operational capabilities of these two technologies, as well as make an analytical comparison between them to determine the use preference for both of them according to different operating conditions so that the owner of the manufacturing decision can make the appropriate decision to conduct an operation manufacturing.

The research attempts to answer a set of questions, the most important of which is whether the comparison between laser and plasma metal cutting techniques contributes to determining the use preference for each, and what are the strengths and weaknesses of both techniques, and do the operational capabilities of both technologies differ according to the type of metal used.
