hey dear sweet friend here is your answer

Disadvantages of Plasma Arc Welding:

It produces wider welds and heat affected zones compare to LBW and EBW.

Plasma welding equipment is very costly. Hence it will have a higher startup cost.

It requires training and specialization to perform plasma welding.

It produces ultraviolet and infrared radiation.

The method produces higher noise on the order of about 100dB.

The torch is bulky and hence manual welding is a bit difficult and requires training as mentioned.


Advantages of Plasma Arc Welding:

Torch design allows better control of arc.

This method provides more freedom to observe and control the weld.

The higher the heat concentration and plasma jet allow faster travel speeds.

The high temperature and high heat concentration of plasma allow keyhole effect.

This provides complete penetration with single pass welding of many joints.

Heat affected zone is smaller compared to GTAW(Gas tungsten arc welding).

It uses less current input as compared to another welding process.



Application of Plasma Arc Welding:

This welding is used in marine and aerospace industries.

This is used to weld pipes and tubes of stainless steel or titanium.

It is mostly used in electronic industries.

Also, this is used to repair tools, die, and mold.

This is used for welding or coating on aturbine blade.



hope it's help
