OVERVIEW

Heavy-Duty Precision for Industrial Plasma Systems

The ESAB 22403 PT-19 Electrode is a specialized consumable designed for the rigorous demands of high-amperage mechanized plasma cutting. Engineered for use with the ESAB PT-19 torch, this electrode is rated for an impressive 600 Amps, making it a critical component for heavy industrial fabrication environments where thick plate cutting is routine. This package contains five (5) genuine ESAB electrodes, ensuring you have the inventory needed to maintain continuous operations.

Optimized Tungsten Insert

Unlike standard electrodes that may use hafnium inserts for oxygen cutting, the 22403 features a Tungsten insert. Tungsten is the material of choice when cutting with non-oxidizing gases such as Nitrogen, Argon-Hydrogen mixtures, or pure Argon. This makes this specific electrode essential for fabricators working primarily with Stainless Steel and Aluminum. The tungsten insert withstands the intense heat of the 600A arc while maintaining geometry, resulting in cleaner cuts, reduced dross, and longer consumable life compared to generic alternatives.

OEM Quality and Reliability

Using genuine ESAB parts like the 22403 ensures that your PT-19 torch operates at peak efficiency. The precise machining of the electrode body ensures perfect seating within the torch head, optimizing electrical contact and thermal transfer. Poorly fitting aftermarket consumables can lead to coolant leaks, arcing inside the torch, or catastrophic torch failure. By choosing the ESAB 22403, you protect your capital equipment investment while achieving the high-quality cut edges required for professional manufacturing.

Application Focus

This electrode is specifically tailored for mechanized cutting systems utilizing the PT-19 torch. It is not intended for low-amperage manual systems. Operators should verify their gas selection matches the tungsten insert type to prevent rapid deterioration. When paired with the correct swirl ring and nozzle combination, the 22403 delivers exceptional arc starting reliability and consistent cut width over its service life.

FAQ

The ESAB 22403 electrode is designed specifically for the ESAB PT-19 plasma torch.

This electrode is rated for high-current applications up to 600 Amps.

It features a Tungsten insert, which is optimized for use with non-oxidizing plasma gases.

Tungsten electrodes are typically designed for inert gases (Nitrogen, Argon/Hydrogen). For Oxygen cutting of mild steel, a Hafnium insert is usually required. Check your torch manual for the specific part number for Oxygen service.

The ESAB 22403 comes in a package of 5 electrodes.

Tungsten has a very high melting point and excellent durability when protected by inert gases, making it ideal for the extreme heat generated at 600 Amps when cutting non-ferrous metals.

The PT-19 is a heavy-duty torch typically found on mechanized/automated cutting systems.

Replace the electrode when the pit depth of the insert exceeds the manufacturer's specifications (usually around 1/16" to 3/32" depending on the model) or if the arc becomes unstable and cut quality degrades.
