    Question Chromium Carbide

    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.
