I was just asked by our sales departement if we can cut Chromium Carbide plates with our CNC plasma. With a little research turns out we can which I did not know!

My question is; Is there a different type of consumable to be used to cut such material or can we use our regular mild steel consumable? By the way we use a HPR130 from Hypertherm.

Thank you in advance for you input.

we make chrome carbide overlay plate and pipe. we use standard consumables. it's a little harder to cut than mild steel but you shouldnt notice any differance.

We tried to cut chromium carbide and the torch kept diving into the metal. Which gas should be used to cut this. Just oxygen?
