Abstract

PURPOSE:To maintain the stability of a plasma arc and to increase its energy density by arranging magnets coaxially at two places of both sides in an axial direction to an electrode. CONSTITUTION:An arc nozzle 3 is arranged surrounding a holder 1 on the tip of which the electrode 2 is fixed and the magnet 5 is fixed on the tip of a water channel pipe 4 in the holder 1 and furthermore, the magnet 6 is arranged to the inside of a nozzle cap 7. Strong parallel magnetic fields 9 are formed along the electrode 2 and the axis center of the arc nozzle 3 by the magnets 5 and 6 at the two places by this constitution. When an electric current is applied to the electrode 2, the plasma arc is generated from the surface of the electrode 2 and discharged from the nozzle 3 as an arc column 10. On this occasion, the arc column 10 is stabilized magnetically on the parallel magnetic fields 9 of the magnets 5 and 6 and the expansion is controlled. Accordingly, the stability of the arc is maintained and the energy density can be increased.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Conventional transfer plasma torches utilize swirling airflow extensively. In metal cutting using this conventional transfer type plasma torch, if precision cutting is to be performed, it is necessary to reduce the diameter of the nozzle. However, if the nozzle diameter is narrowed too much for the set current, incorrect discharge such as double arcing will occur, leading to damage to the torch.

Therefore, once the set cutting current is determined, the lower limit of the nozzle diameter is automatically determined. - When cutting thick square metal, it is necessary to increase the cutting current, but even in this case precision cutting with a narrow cutting width is often required.
