SERVICESUPPLYING ALL KINDS OF PLASMA CONSUMABLES AT FAST DELIVERY
TIMEPlasma 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. NO.NAMEPart

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
