9-8228 - Thermal Dynamics 9-8228 Tip D Gouging Nozzle (5-Pack)

Thermal Dynamics 9-8228 Gouging Tip D Overview

The Thermal Dynamics 9-8228 Gouging Tip D is a specialized plasma consumable engineered for heavy-duty metal removal applications. Designed specifically for the SL60 and SL100 1Torch systems, this tip transforms your standard plasma cutting setup into a powerful gouging tool. Plasma gouging is an essential process in industrial fabrication and maintenance, allowing operators to remove defective welds, prepare edges for welding, or strip away surface material without the noise and fumes associated with carbon arc gouging. The Tip D configuration is characterized by its ability to produce a shallow depth and wide width gouge, making it particularly effective for surface washing and broad material removal tasks.

Operating within an amperage range of 40 to 100 Amps, the 9-8228 tip offers versatility across various Cutmaster power sources, including the Cutmaster 52, 81, 82, 101, 102, 151, and 152 models. By maintaining a constant standoff distance and utilizing a lead angle of approximately 35-45 degrees, operators can achieve precise control over the gouging profile. The plasma arc melts the metal while the high-velocity gas stream blows the molten material away, leaving a clean surface that often requires minimal secondary grinding. This efficiency makes the Thermal Dynamics Tip D a preferred choice for professional welders and fabricators looking to maximize productivity.

This product comes in a package of five, ensuring that you have adequate stock for continuous operation. Genuine Thermal Dynamics consumables are manufactured to precise standards, ensuring proper fitment within the torch head and optimal electrical conductivity. Using OEM parts like the 9-8228 helps maintain the longevity of your torch and power source by preventing issues related to poor gas flow or arc instability. Whether you are working on mild steel, stainless steel, or aluminum, the Tip D provides the consistent performance required for high-quality gouging results.

Key Applications:

• Removal of old or defective welds during repair work.
• Preparation of plate edges for subsequent welding passes (U-groove or J-groove preparation).
• Removal of temporary attachments, brackets, or lifting lugs.
• Surface defect removal such as cracks or porosity in castings.
