The surface roughness of the cutting area for the material and the material removal rate being removed during the manual plasma arc cutting process were importantly considered.

However, with smaller the better condition of S/N ratio, the percentage contribution of surface roughness for 3 mm is maximum 23.4%, and minimum 11.0%, while, the percentage contribution of surface roughness for 6 mm is maximum 56.6%, and minimum 7.6%.
