Electrode for Plasma Cutting

Hypertherm, a US based manufacturer of plasma, laser, and waterjet cutting systems, has introduced a lower-amp SilverPlus® Electrode, for its HyPerformance family of plasma cutting systems, designed for cutting at 80 amps. Like all SilverPlus electrodes, the new 80 A electrode is proven in Hypertherm laboratory testing to last more than twice as long as a standard copper electrode. Instead of replacing the electrode at a pit depth of 0.040 of an inch as recommended with standard electrodes, SilverPlus electrodes are designed to last to a pit depth of 0.080 of an inch. In addition, the electrode delivers a very consistent range 4 and 5 cut quality throughout its life, allowing owners to lower their operating cost, with no impact on cut quality or speed. In addition to the new 80 A electrode, the company also offers 130, 200, 260, and 400 A versions with similar performance.
