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.

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： 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 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： 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： 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.
