Hypertherm has announced the availability in Europe of Silverplus electrodes for its Hyperformance systems.
On average, Silverplus doubles electrode life in many applications.
Hypertherm is offering Silverplus in 130, 200, and 260A.
The electrodes are created by fusing a solid silver tip to a copper electrode base and then inserting a hafnium pin into the tip.
The hafnium wear rate is reduced because silver disperses heat better than copper.
A special bond between the hafnium and silver enables more consistent wear rates, deeper pit depths and more robustness to ramp down errors and hard failures.
