220802 - Hypertherm 220802 80A Mild Steel Bevel Electrode for HPR130XD/HPR260XD

Precision Plasma Consumables for Industrial Fabrication

The Hypertherm 220802 Electrode is a specialized consumable component engineered for the rigorous demands of industrial plasma cutting. Designed specifically for use with the HPR130XD and HPR260XD HyPerformance plasma systems, this electrode is optimized for 80-amp bevel cutting on mild steel. In the world of automated fabrication, the electrode serves as the primary focal point for the plasma arc, transferring high-density energy to the workpiece. The 220802 is constructed with advanced materials and manufacturing techniques that ensure the hafnium insert—the core emitter of the arc—degrades at a controlled and predictable rate, providing operators with consistent cut quality over the life of the part.

Bevel cutting requires exceptional arc stability to maintain the correct angle and dimensional accuracy of the edge preparation. Hypertherm's engineering team has developed this electrode to manage the thermal dynamics of 80A bevel processes, ensuring that the arc remains centered and powerful even when the torch is tilted. This capability is essential for shops that prepare plates for subsequent welding operations, as a clean, accurate bevel reduces the need for manual grinding and fitting. The electrode features precise coolant passages that align perfectly with the torch body, facilitating efficient heat removal. This cooling efficiency is critical for preventing premature failure and extending the duty cycle of the consumable stack.

Using genuine Hypertherm consumables like the 220802 electrode is vital for maintaining the operational integrity of HPR XD systems. Third-party alternatives often lack the precise concentricity and material purity found in OEM parts, which can lead to erratic arcs, damage to the torch head, and reduced cut speeds. By choosing the 220802, fabricators ensure that their high-investment machinery operates at peak efficiency. This electrode is part of a complete consumable suite designed to work in harmony, delivering the "HyDefinition" cut quality that Hypertherm is renowned for globally. Whether used in shipbuilding, heavy equipment manufacturing, or structural steel fabrication, this electrode delivers the reliability required for continuous production environments.
