Electrodes designed to operate at lower temperature

Hypertherm has introduced new Centricut brand consumables as an alternative for ESAB XR consumables in PT-36 torches.

According to the manufacturer, its patented SilverLine electrode features a hybrid copper/silver weld joint that delivers performance equal to a solid silver electrode at a lower cost. Cooling features reduce the operating temperature of the electrode to help maximize the hafnium pit depth and slow the wear rate. CoolFlow technology improves cooling to help maintain the size and shape of the nozzle orifice for longer life, the company reports.
