Abstract (en)

[origin: JPH03151169A] PURPOSE: To improve reliability of ignition by providing so that the support end arranged around an insert has at least a portion made of an electroconductive material axially projecting with respect to the insert. CONSTITUTION: At the end of using an oxidizing plasma-forming gas such as air or oxygen for a period, the center part of an insert 14 is formed into a crater 15 the periphery of which is covered with an annular projection 16 made of zirconium oxide or hafnium oxide. The existence of a hole 11 prevents the annular projection 16 from protruding beyond the end face 9 of the support 10, so that ignition by short-circuit can be continued in a sure way.

Abstract (fr)

Le support (10) de l'électrode (2) présente à son extrémité un lamage (11) dans le fond duquel est monté l'insert émissif (16) en zirconium ou en hafnium. Application aux torches de coupage plasma à allumage par court-circuit.
