ELECTRODE FOR PLASMA CUTTING TORCHES AND USE OF SAME

摘要

The invention relates to an electrode for plasma torches for plasma cutting and to a use of the electrode for said plasma torch. The electrode in accordance with the invention for plasma cutting torches is formed from an electrode holder and from an emission insert which are connected to one another in a force-fitted and/or shape-matched manner. The emission insert has at least one section along its longitudinal axis which is arranged between two other sections or next to a section which has a reduced outer diameter in a rotationally symmetrical design of the emission insert or has a reduced cross-sectional surface in a non-rotationally symmetrical emission insert with respect to the other section(s).
