Plasma arc cutting is a non-conventional manufacturing process that has the potential for modern-day metal cutting demands with good dimensional accuracy and high-quality surfaces without additional operation. In this experimental study, AISI 304 and ENS235JR sheet materials which are 5 mm of thicknesses have been cut with plasma arc cutting. Each material has been cut with 12 different variations. Current and cutting speeds changed as process parameters. The quality of the cut has been monitored by measuring the edge roughness, conicity, size of the heat-affected zone (HAZ), and hardness of the heat-affected zone (HAZ) the results have been compared.
