Abstract
This invention relates to a plasma torch and a first and second electrode for use in a plasma torch. Each electrode includes a tubular intermediate part which is intended to come into contact with the arc feet and a pair of end parts which are intended to facilitate connection of the electrode to the other parts of the torch. Each electrode is disposed within an enclosed fluid circulation chamber within which a cooling fluid circulates. The intermediate and end parts of each electrode are at least ten millimeters thick. The individual parts of each electrode are connected together by a moisture-impervious, disassemblable, mechanical assembly which prevents the cooling fluid from coming in contact with the interior of the electrodes.
