Abstract (en)

[origin: US2002033386A1] A device with a plasma torch with a rod-shaped non-consumable electrode (3, 4) which is held in a receiver (1), is connected with an electric connection and penetrates a nozzle (9) which is in connection with a gas connection. In order to also enable the rapid and secure welding of difficult alloys it is provided that a further rod-shaped non-consumable electrode (3, 4) is disposed in the receiver (1) which is made from an electrically non-conducting material, which further electrode also penetrates a nozzle (9') which is in connection with a gas connection, with the two electrodes (3, 4) enclosing an acute angle and each being in connection with a separate voltage source (31, 32) supplying direct voltage pulses, the level of which exceeds at least the arc voltage of an arc between one of the electrodes (3, 4) and a counterelectrode which is associated with the same and connected with the same voltage source (31, 32).
