20-1412 - Thermal Dynamics 0.110 Orifice Plasma Gouging Tip

Precision Plasma Gouging Consumable

The Thermal Dynamics 20-1412 Gouging Tip is a specialized plasma torch consumable engineered for industrial metal removal applications. Unlike standard cutting tips that constrict the plasma arc to sever material, this gouging tip features a larger 0.110-inch orifice designed to broaden the arc. This modification allows the plasma stream to melt the base material while the gas flow blows the molten metal away, creating a smooth, clean groove. It is an essential component for fabricators and maintenance professionals who require precision in back-gouging welds, removing defects, or preparing edges for fabrication.

Manufactured to Thermal Dynamics' exacting standards, this genuine replacement part ensures optimal electrical conductivity and heat resistance. The high-quality copper construction withstands the intense thermal loads generated during the gouging process, providing a longer service life and consistent performance. Using genuine OEM consumables is critical for maintaining the warranty and operational efficiency of your plasma cutting system. The 20-1412 tip fits securely into compatible torch heads, ensuring proper gas sealing and arc alignment.

Plasma gouging with the 20-1412 tip offers significant advantages over traditional carbon arc gouging. It typically produces less smoke, lower noise levels, and a cleaner finished surface that often requires little to no secondary grinding. This efficiency makes it a preferred method for stainless steel and aluminum applications where carbon contamination must be avoided. Whether you are repairing heavy machinery or preparing structural steel joints, this gouging tip delivers the control and power needed for demanding industrial environments.

Operators will appreciate the stability of the arc produced by this specific orifice size. The 0.110-inch diameter is calibrated to handle specific amperage ranges, balancing the energy density required to melt the metal with the gas velocity needed to clear the groove. Regular inspection and replacement of the gouging tip are recommended to maintain cut quality and prevent damage to the torch head. When the orifice becomes distorted or out-of-round, it is time to install a new 20-1412 tip to ensure safety and productivity.
