PLASMA CUTTING MACHINE

Plasma cutting is a process that cuts through electrically conductive materials by means of an accelerated jet of hot plasma. Typical materials cut with a plasma torch include steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass and copper, although other conductive metals may be cut as well. Plasma cutting is often used in fabrication shops, automotive repair and restoration, industrial construction, and salvage and scrapping operations. Due to the high speed and precision cuts combined with low cost, plasma cutting sees widespread use from large-scale industrial CNC applications down to small hobbyist shops.Due to the high speed and precision cuts combined with low cost, plasma cutting sees widespread use from large-scale industrial.

Arc welding is a welding process that is used to join metal to metal by using electricity to create enough heat to melt metal, and the melted metals, when cool, result in a binding of the metals. It is a type of welding that uses a welding power supply to create an electric arc between a metal stick (“electrode”) and the base material to melt the metals at the point of contact. Arc welders can use either direct (DC) or alternating (AC) current, and consumable or non-consumable electrodes.

The welding area is usually protected by some type of shielding gas (e.g. an inert gas), vapor, or slag. Arc welding processes may be manual, semi-automatic, or fully automated. First developed in the late part of the 19th century, arc welding became commercially important in shipbuilding during the Second World War. Today it remains an important process for the fabrication of steel structures and vehicles.

Cochin Shipyard Limited (CSL) was incorporated in the year 1972 as a fully owned Government of India Company. Presently, the Government of India holds 72.86% of equity share capital in the Company. In the last five decades, the Company has emerged as a forerunner in the Indian shipbuilding & ship repair industry and also a well- known player on the global shipbuilding front.

The Company has built and delivered the prestigious Indigenous Aircraft Carrier for the Indian Navy and has built & repaired some of the largest ships in India. Over the years, CSL has successfully responded to fluctuations in the shipbuilding requirements of the markets and has evolved from building bulk carriers to smaller and more technically sophisticated vessels such as Platform Supply Vessels (PSV) and Anchor Handling Tug Supply Vessels (AHTS).

CSL has worked with several leading technology firms in the industry including Rolls Royce Marine (Norway), GTT (France), Vard Group (Norway) etc. CSL has exported 47 vessels to some of the most demanding clients in Norway, Netherlands, Cyprus, USA, Germany, Denmark , Bahamas, Saudi Arabia and UAE. This has added to our credibility in the international market. Our key shipbuilding clients on the domestic front include the Indian Navy, the Indian Coast Guard, Ministry of Home Affairs, the Shipping Corporation of India Limited, Lakshadweep Government, various Port Trusts, Inland Waterways Authority of India (IWAI), A&N Administration, Directorate General of Lighthouses and Lightships (DGLL) and Jindal Steel Works (JSW) group. CSL has also undertaken repairs of various types of vessels including upgradation of ships of the oil exploration industry as well as periodical maintenance, repairs and life extension of ships. CSL is presently one of the best performing shipyards in India.
