cut charts
The following Cut charts show the consumable parts, cutting speeds and the gas and torch settings required for each
process.
The numbers shown in the Cut charts are recommended to provide high-quality cuts with minimal dross. Because of
differences between installations and material composition, adjustments may be required to obtain desired results.
thin stainless steel with HDi technology
overview
The HPRXD family of plasma cutting systems offers a HyDefinition inox (HDi) 60 A cutting process for thin stainless
steel that produces high quality cuts with minimal dross. Specifically, it enables operators to achieve:
• A sharp, top edge of the cut
• A shiny surface finish
• Good cut-edge angularity
You can use these 60 A stainless steel settings with your existing HPRXD system along with the following three new
consumables:
• 220814 (nozzle retaining cap)
• 220815 (shield)
• 220847 (nozzle)
The cut charts and consumables for the 60 A stainless steel process can be used with both automatic and manual gas
consoles.
Recommendations
Hypertherm develops stainless steel processes using SAE grade 304L. When cutting other grades of stainless steel,
you may need to adjust the cut chart parameters to obtain optimal cut quality. In order to reduce the amount of dross,
the first recommended adjustment is to adjust the cut speed. Dross can also be reduced by increasing the shield cut
flow setting. Both of these adjustments may change the angle of the cut edge.

The HDi charts are listed by amperage with the other stainless steel cut charts.
