torch/air cooled torch PLASMA CUTTING CONSUMABLES: WHAT, WHY, AND
HOW LONG DO THEY LAST?Plasma cutters contain a number
of consumable parts, which is unsurprising when you consider
the very high temperatures involved in producing and focussing an
arc of plasma. Keeping on top of the condition of these consumables
is very important as it will help to ensure a consistent
high-quality cut, and reduce the time involved in processing and
refining your finished parts.WHAT ARE PLASMA CUTTER
CONSUMABLES?Plasma cutter consumables are a set of components in
your plasma cutter that gradually wear over time until they need to
be replaced: they have a life cycle. The consumables are all found
in the cutting torch itself, which is where most of the energy is
focussed, and keeping track of wear and tear is a key part of
maintaining an efficient machine that cuts well and lasts a long
time. Plasma cutting torch consumables include: a swirl ring,
electrode, nozzle, retaining cap, and shield cap.NOZZLEThe nozzle
focuses the plasma arc and the gas that surrounds it to make a
clean and precise cut. A nozzle with a larger opening is used for
gouging, while a nozzle with a smaller opening is better able to
direct the gas and so is used for fine, detailed work.ELECTRODEThe
electrode is a narrow piece of copper containing hafnium (which is
an excellent conductor of electricity). Its job is to receive the
electrical current from a cathode block inside the torch to which
it is connected, and to focus the charge through its tip, which
causes it to arc onto the workpiece.RETAINING CAPThe retaining cap
essentially holds all of the consumable parts of the torch
together. As temperatures at this end of the machine are extremely
high, it's not just the parts creating and focussing the arc that
are worn down; the component holding them together also degrades
over time.SHIELD CAPThe shield is there to protect the torch and
its other components from the sparks and molten metal that result
from the plasma cutting process. It takes the brunt of the fallout
so that wear to other components is minimised as much as
possible.HOW LONG DO PLASMA CUTTER CONSUMABLES LAST?Now that we've
looked at the role each of these consumable parts play, we'll move
on to discuss how long these elements last. The nozzle and the
electrode will wear out more quickly than other components, as they
are most directly involved with the creation and focussing of the
cutting arc. You'll notice nozzle wear primarily in the quality of
the cut you are achieving. As the nozzle wears, the hole in the tip
gets larger, which makes the plasma arc thicker and produces a
wider cut (kerf) in your workpiece. You will be able to see with a
simple visual inspection when the hole in the nozzle becomes too
large and needs replacing.CHECK WHICH PLASMA CONSUMABLES YOU NEEDIf
you are looking for plasma consumables, torches or torch
assembly options it's very important you order the correct parts
based on your system, material or amperage.Therefore we will
provide you with an overview of all current and legacy Hypertherm
plasma cutting systems, so you could see which option fits best
your needs. /* March 10, 2023 17:59:20
