0559210011 - ESAB PT-36 Electrode 15-30A for Mild Steel

Precision Plasma Electrode for Mild Steel Applications

The ESAB 0559210011 is a high-performance plasma cutting electrode engineered specifically for the PT-36 torch series found on ESAB's advanced m3 Plasma systems. This component is critical for maintaining the electrical arc transfer to the workpiece and is designed to operate within the low amperage range of 15 to 30 Amps. It is optimized for use with Oxygen plasma gas when cutting Mild Steel (MS), making it an essential consumable for fabrication shops requiring high-precision cuts on thinner gauge materials.

In industrial environments, particularly those utilizing robotic (ROB) or mechanized cutting tables, consistency is paramount. This electrode features a precisely machined body and a high-quality hafnium insert that ensures reliable arc starting and a stable plasma stream. The 15-30A range is often used for fine feature cutting where thermal distortion must be minimized and edge quality is critical. By using genuine ESAB consumables, operators ensure that the coolant flow and gas dynamics within the torch head remain within factory specifications, preventing overheating and extending the life of surrounding components like the nozzle and swirl baffle.

The "MS" designation indicates its specific metallurgy and geometry are tuned for the oxidation reactions present in mild steel cutting. Unlike generic alternatives, this OEM part maintains strict concentricity, which is vital for achieving square edges and accurate part dimensions. Regular inspection of the electrode pit depth is recommended to prevent torch damage; replacing this consumable at the appropriate interval ensures optimal cut speed and quality. Whether used in automotive manufacturing, HVAC fabrication, or general precision manufacturing, the 0559210011 delivers the reliability expected from ESAB's heavy-duty industrial line.

Integration with the PT-36 torch allows for quick changeovers, reducing downtime in high-volume production cycles. The electrode's design facilitates efficient heat transfer to the torch's cooling system, allowing it to withstand the thermal stresses of continuous operation. For facility managers and procurement specialists, stocking genuine ESAB 0559210011 electrodes guarantees that your m3 plasma system operates at peak efficiency, delivering dross-free cuts and reducing secondary processing requirements.
