The PT-31 plasma electrode is a consumable part used in plasma cutting torches. It is made of a copper core with a hafnium tip, which is an excellent conductor of electricity. The electrode's job is to receive the electrical current from the torch and focus the charge through its tip, which causes an arc to form on the workpiece. The arc vaporizes the workpiece material, creating a cutting stream.
The PT-31 electrode is designed for use with plasma cutting torches that operate at currents of 40-50 amps. It is a popular choice for cutting mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. The electrode has a lifespan of about 100-200 hours, depending on the cutting conditions.
