OVERVIEW

Precision Consumables for Mechanized Plasma Cutting

The ESAB 0558009400 PT-36 Micro Electrode is a specialized consumable designed for the high-performance PT-36 mechanized plasma torch. Sold in a pack of five, these electrodes are engineered to meet the rigorous demands of automated cutting environments where precision and repeatability are non-negotiable. The PT-36 torch system is renowned for its ability to deliver high-quality cuts, and the "Micro" designation of this electrode indicates its optimization for specific cutting parameters, typically involving lower amperages or finer kerf requirements suited for detailed work.

Constructed from high-grade conductive copper with a precisely inserted hafnium emitter, this electrode ensures efficient heat transfer and reliable arc initiation. The hafnium insert is the critical wear point of any air or oxygen plasma electrode; ESAB's manufacturing process ensures the insert is centered and bonded correctly to maximize part life. Using genuine ESAB consumables like the 0558009400 helps maintain the factory-specified tolerances of your cutting system, preventing damage to the torch head and ensuring that your cut edges remain square and dross-free.

In industrial settings, consistency is key. Third-party or mismatched consumables can lead to erratic arc behavior, reduced consumable life, and ultimately, rejected parts. By choosing the genuine ESAB PT-36 Micro Electrode, operators can trust in the stability of the plasma stream. This pack of five allows for planned maintenance schedules, ensuring that a fresh electrode is always on hand to keep production lines moving efficiently. Whether you are cutting mild steel, stainless steel, or aluminum, maintaining your PT-36 torch with the correct "Micro" series parts is essential for optimal results.

FAQ

This electrode is designed specifically for the ESAB PT-36 mechanized plasma torch.

This product is sold as a pack of 5 electrodes.

The 'Micro' designation typically indicates the electrode is designed for use with Micro nozzles for high-precision, fine-feature cutting, often at lower amperages.

You should replace the electrode when the hafnium pit (the center insert) becomes too deep. For most systems, a pit depth of 1/16" to 3/32" indicates it is time to change the part to prevent torch damage.

No, this is a 'Micro' electrode designed for precision cutting. Gouging typically requires different consumables designed for higher metal removal rates.

Yes, this is a genuine ESAB part, ensuring full compatibility and performance with your ESAB equipment.

Genuine consumables are manufactured to precise tolerances. Using them ensures the arc is properly centered and the torch is protected from heat damage, which might not be guaranteed with aftermarket parts.

The electrode itself is compatible with standard plasma cutting on conductive metals like mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum, provided the correct gas and nozzle combination is used.
