The secondary cutting gas may be carbon dioxide or nitrogen. Table lists the recommended cutting shielding gases and typical parameters for plasma cutting the aluminium alloys. Water injection into the nozzle can be used in addition to the orifice gas. This restricts the plasma jet further and produces a better quality more square cut although above 50 mm thickness these advantages are reduced. A development of the process known as high-tolerance plasma-arc cutting HT-PAC also known as plasma-constricted arc fine plasma or high-definition plasma has been developed and is being used as a cheaper alternative to laser cutting of material less than 12 mm in thickness. This variation to the plasma-arc process achieves a better quality cut with more perpendicular faces a narrower kerf and a less rough finish than the 56 The .
