[edit] Image Inclusion

I've never seen Plasma weldong before - Plasma cutting, but not welding. I think an image would spruce this up quite a bit :-)

[edit] Plasma gas?

Isn't that like saying a "solid liquid?" AFAIK, plasma is considered a phase of matter distinct from gas, but IANA physicist... Anyone better-educated care to throw in their 2¢? El Mariachi 09:48, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

You're right, but I'm not sure off the top of my head if "plasma" here is used in the scientific sense. It might just be the name. I'll look into it. --Spangineer^[es] (háblame) 12:14, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orifice Diameter

The article refers to

Micro-plasma (< 15 A) 

Melt-in mode (15–400 A) 

Keyhole mode (>100 A) 

Is the "A" here meant to be the Angstrom symbol, " Å "? If so, the character code is Å. I'd make the changes myself, but for all I know the "A" is some arcane term from the welding field and should stay just as it is.
