Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a mono- or multi-part insulating part for a plasma torch, in particular a plasma cutting torch, for electrical insulation between at least two electrically conductive components of the plasma torch, arrangements and plasma torch with such an insulating part, plasma torch with such an arrangement and method for machining a workpiece a thermal plasma, plasma cutting and plasma welding.
  • Plasma torches are generally used for the thermal processing of electrically conductive materials, such as steel and non-ferrous metals.
  • Plasma welding torches are used for welding and plasma cutting torches for cutting electrically conductive materials such as steel and non-ferrous metals.
  • Plasma torches usually consist of a torch body, an electrode, a nozzle and a holder for it. Modern plasma torches also have a nozzle cap mounted above the nozzle. Often a nozzle is fixed by means of a nozzle cap.
  • the components which wear out due to the high thermal load caused by the operation of the plasma torch are, in particular, the electrode, the nozzle, the nozzle cap, the nozzle protection cap Nozzle cap holder and the plasma gas guide and secondary gas guide parts. These components can be easily changed by an operator and thus be referred to as wear parts.
  • the plasma torches are connected via lines to a power source and a gas supply, which supply the plasma torch. Furthermore, the plasma torch may be connected to a cooling means for a cooling medium, such as a cooling liquid.
  • Plasma cutting torches are subject to particularly high thermal loads. This is due to the strong constriction of the plasma jet through the nozzle bore. In comparison to plasma welding, small holes are used in relation to the cutting current, so that high current densities of 50 to 150 A / mm 2 in the nozzle bore, high energy densities of approx. 2x10 6 W / cm 2 and high temperatures of up to 30,000 K are generated , Furthermore, in the plasma cutting torch higher gas pressures, usually up to 12 bar, used. The combination of high temperature and high kinetic energy of the plasma gas flowing through the nozzle bore leads to melting of the workpiece and expulsion of the melt. The result is a kerf and the workpiece is separated. In plasma cutting, oxidizing gases are often used to cut unalloyed steels. This also leads to a high thermal load on the wearing parts and the plasma cutting torch.
  • the plasma gas is passed through a gas guide part, which may also be multi-part. As a result, the plasma gas can be targeted. Often it is offset by a radial and / or axial displacement of the openings in the plasma gas guide part in rotation about the electrode.
  • the plasma gas guide member is made of electrically insulating material because of the electrode and the nozzle must be electrically insulated from each other. This is necessary because the electrode and the nozzle have different electrical potentials during operation of the plasma cutting torch. To operate the plasma cutting torch, an arc is generated between the electrode and the nozzle and / or the workpiece which ionizes the plasma gas.
  • a high voltage can be applied between the electrode and the nozzle, which ensures a pre-ionization of the distance between the electrode and nozzle and thus the formation of an arc.
  • the arc burning between the electrode and the nozzle is also called a pilot arc.
  • the pilot arc exits through the nozzle bore and strikes the workpiece, ionizing the distance to the workpiece. As a result, the arc can form between the electrode and the workpiece. This arc is also called the main arc.
  • the pilot arc can be switched off. But he can also continue to operate. In plasma cutting, this is often switched off so as not to burden the nozzle even more.
  • the electrode and the nozzle are subjected to high thermal stress and must be cooled. At the same time, they must also conduct the electrical current needed to form the arc. Therefore, for good heat and electrically conductive materials, usually metals, for example copper, silver, aluminum, tin, zinc, iron or alloys, in which at least one of these metals is included, are used.
  • the electrode often consists of an electrode holder and an emissive insert made of a material having a high melting temperature (> 2000 ° C) and a lower electron work function than the electrode holder.
  • materials for the emission use when non-oxidizing plasma gases, such as argon, hydrogen, nitrogen, helium and mixtures thereof, tungsten and the use of oxidizing gases, such as oxygen, air and mixtures thereof, nitrogen-oxygen mixture and mixtures used with other gases, hafnium or zirconium.
  • the high-temperature material can be fitted into an electrode holder, which consists of good heat and good electrical conductivity material, for example, be pressed with positive and / or adhesion.
  • the cooling of the electrode and nozzle can be effected by gas, for example the plasma gas or a secondary gas flowing along the outside of the nozzle. More effective, however, is the cooling with a liquid, for example water.
  • the electrode and / or nozzle are often cooled directly with the liquid, i. the liquid is in direct contact with the electrode and / or the nozzle.
  • To guide the cooling liquid around the nozzle there is a nozzle cap around the nozzle, the inner surface of which forms with the outer surface of the nozzle a coolant space in which the coolant flows.
  • a secondary or inert gas exits the bore of the nozzle cap and envelops the plasma jet and provides for a defined atmosphere around it.
  • the secondary gas protects the nozzle and the nozzle cap from arcs that may form between it and the workpiece. These are called double arcs and can damage the nozzle.
  • the nozzle and the nozzle cap are heavily loaded by hot high-spraying of material.
  • the secondary gas whose volume flow during piercing can be increased compared to the value during cutting, keeps the high-spraying material away from the nozzle and the nozzle cap and thus protects against damage.
  • the nozzle cap is also subjected to high thermal loads and must be cooled. Therefore, for good heat and electrically conductive materials, usually metals, for example copper, silver, aluminum, tin, zinc, iron or alloys, in which at least one of these metals is included, are used.
  • metals for example copper, silver, aluminum, tin, zinc, iron or alloys, in which at least one of these metals is included, are used.
  • the electrode and the nozzle can also be cooled indirectly. They stand with a component which consists of a good heat and good electrical conductivity material, usually a metal, for example copper, silver, aluminum, tin, zinc, iron or alloys in which at least one of these metals is included , by contact in contact. This component in turn is cooled directly, that is, it is in direct contact with the most-flowing coolant. These components can simultaneously serve as a holder or receptacle for the electrode, the nozzle, the nozzle cap or the nozzle cap and remove the heat and the current.
  • a component which consists of a good heat and good electrical conductivity material usually a metal, for example copper, silver, aluminum, tin, zinc, iron or alloys in which at least one of these metals is included , by contact in contact.
  • This component in turn is cooled directly, that is, it is in direct contact with the most-flowing coolant.
  • These components can simultaneously serve as a holder or receptacle for the electrode, the
  • the nozzle cap is usually cooled only by the secondary gas. Arrangements are also known in which the nozzle protection cap is cooled directly or indirectly by a cooling liquid.
  • the gas cooling (plasma gas and / or secondary gas cooling) has the disadvantage that it is not effective and the required gas flow rate is very high in order to achieve acceptable cooling or heat dissipation.
  • Plasma cutting torches with water cooling require, for example, gas flow rates of 500 l / h to 4000 l / h, while plasma cutting torches without water cooling require gas flow rates of 5000 to 11000 l / h. These ranges are a function of the cutting currents used, which may, for example, be in a range of 20 to 600 A.
  • the volume flow of the plasma gas and / or secondary gas should be selected so that the best cutting results are achieved. Too large volume flows, which are necessary for the cooling but often worsen the cutting result.
