摘要： A coolant tube for a liquid-cooled electrode disposed a plasma arc torch does not become damaged during an electrode blow-out condition. The coolant tube includes a hollow member and a substantially solid member. The hollow member has a first end, a second end and a coolant passage extending between the first and second ends. The first end can be secured within the torch such that the coolant tube is disposed adjacent the interior surface of the electrode and such that the coolant passage is in fluid communication with a coolant supply. The substantially solid member extends from the second end of the hollow member and has at least one flow restriction orifice extending therethrough. Each flow restriction orifice is fluid communication with the coolant passage for providing at least one high velocity jet of coolant to the interior surface of the electrode.

摘要： Disclosed is a method and structure for improving alignment of a plasma arc with an axial centerline of a plasma arc torch. At least one of an electrode and nozzle are mounted in respective bores of a cathode block and torch body using a radial spring element. By concentrically machining the bores along an axial centerline of the torch and centering the consumable components within the bores using the spring elements, an insert disposed in a tip of the electrode is axially aligned with an orifice formed in a tip of the nozzle. Asymmetric wear of the nozzle orifice due to a skewed arc path is markedly reduced or eliminated. The torch may be employed in computer controlled cutting and marking systems to produce components or workpieces with reduced dimensional and angular errors.

摘要： Disclosed is a novel method and structure for contact starting a plasma arc torch. A translatable, electrically conductive component such as a nozzle or swirl ring is biased into contact with an electrode by a compliant spring element. A pilot arc is formed by first passing current through the electrode/component interface. Thereafter, the component is translated under the influence of gas pressure in a plasma chamber formed between the electrode and component, compressing the compliant element and initiating the pilot arc. The spring element may be maintained integrally with the nozzle, swirl ring, or a retaining cap, facilitating removal and replacement of the spring element with consumable components of the torch. Exemplary spring elements include wave spring washers, finger spring washers, curved spring washers, helical compression springs, flat wire compression springs, and slotted conical discs.

摘要： A plasma arc torch apparatus and method for cutting or marking a workpiece includes a torch having an electrode and a nozzle coupled to a power supply, and a plasma gas source coupled to a fluid line for delivering plasma gas to the torch. A flow restriction member is disposed in the fluid line adjacent the torch and causes the pressure of the plasma gas in the torch to gradually increase during start up thus creating a stable plasma arc. A three-way valve is disposed in the fluid line downstream of the flow restriction member and has an inlet, a torch outlet, and a vent outlet. The inlet is in fluid communication with the torch outlet for delivering plasma gas to the torch when the valve is in the open position, and the torch outlet is in fluid communication with the vent outlet when the valve is in the vent position, for rapidly dissipating the gas in the plasma chamber of the torch to atmosphere after the arc has been extinguished. The rapid reduction of the gas pressure in the torch reduces the cycle time, enabling the torch to be restarted more quickly after completion of a prior cutting cycle.
摘要翻译：用于切割或标记工件的等离子弧焊枪装置和方法包括具有连接到电源的电极和喷嘴的焊炬以及耦合到用于将等离子体气体输送到割炬的流体管线的等离子体气体源。流动限制构件设置在与割炬相邻的流体管线中，并且在启动期间使得手电筒中的等离子体气体的压力逐渐增加，从而产生稳定的等离子体电弧。三通阀设置在流动限制构件下游的流体管线中，并具有入口，火炬出口和排气口。入口与火炬出口流体连通，当阀门处于打开位置时，将等离子体气体传送到割炬，当阀门处于通风位置时，火炬出口与排气口处于流体连通状态，以快速消散火炬等离子体中的气体在电弧熄灭后到大气中。手电筒中气体压力的快速降低减少了循环时间，从而能够在完成先前的切削循环之后更快地重新启动割炬。

摘要： Plasma arc or laser cutting uses a mix of reactive and reducing gas flows to cut sheets of stainless steel, aluminum and other non-ferrous metals. The reducing gas flow to the cut varies as a percentage of the total gas flow to maintain a reducing atmosphere down through the cut, but to leave a predominantly oxidizing atmosphere at the intersection of the cut and the bottom surface of the sheet being cut. In plasma arc cutting these flows can also be characterized as either a plasma gas flow, one that forms the arc, or a shield gas flow that surrounds the arc. The reactive gas is preferably a flow of air, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide or a combination of these gases. The reducing gas is preferably hydrogen, hydrogen 35, methane, or a mixture of these gases. For aluminum, the reactive gas is preferably air or nitrogen and the reducing gas is preferably methane or a mixture of methane and air. In laser cutting the reducing gases such as methane can be used by mixing them with reactive assist gases.

摘要： A plasma arc torch that includes a torch body having a nozzle mounted relative to a composite electrode in the body to define a plasma chamber. The torch body includes a plasma flow path for directing a plasma gas to the plasma chamber in which a plasma arc is formed. The nozzle includes a hollow, body portion and a substantially solid, head portion defining an exit orifice. The composite electrode can be made of a metallic material (e.g., silver) with high thermal conductivity in the forward portion electrode body adjacent the emitting surface, and the aft portion of the electrode body is made of a second low cost, metallic material with good thermal and electrical conductivity. This composite electrode configuration produces an electrode with reduced electrode wear or pitting comparable to a silver electrode, for a price comparable to that of a copper electrode.

摘要： A metal jet cutting system, which includes a jetting heat, a heater and a power source, is used for modifying a workpiece. The jetting head includes a crucible and an inlet for receiving a feed stock of a conductive material. The heater melts the conductive material in the crucible to provide a conductive fluid, which exits the jetting head via an outlet. The power source, which is in electrical communication with the conductive fluid, increases the temperature of the conductive fluid. The conductive fluid is applied to the workpiece to modify the workpiece.
