9-5756 - Thermal Dynamics 9-5756 Plasma Gouging Nozzle 0.078

Thermal Dynamics 9-5756 Plasma Gouging Tip Overview

The Thermal Dynamics 9-5756 is a specialized plasma gouging tip designed for use with the PCH and PCM series of plasma torches, commonly found on Pak Master plasma cutting systems. Unlike standard cutting tips that constrict the plasma arc into a high-velocity jet for severing material, this gouging tip is engineered with a larger 0.078-inch orifice. This specific geometry creates a wider, softer arc that melts the base material while the gas flow effectively blows the molten metal away, resulting in a smooth, clean groove.

Manufactured to OEM specifications, the 9-5756 ensures proper fitment and electrical conductivity within the torch head. It is compatible with a range of Thermal Dynamics torches, including the PCH/M-51, PCH/M-52, PCH/M-60, PCH/M-62, PCH/M-100, and PCH/M-102. The tip is constructed from high-grade copper alloy, which provides the necessary thermal conductivity to withstand the high heat input associated with the gouging process. Proper heat dissipation is critical for extending the consumable life and maintaining arc stability during prolonged use.

In industrial applications, this tip allows operators to perform non-destructive testing preparation, weld defect removal, and general metal surfacing on conductive materials such as mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. The 0.078-inch orifice is optimized for specific amperage ranges, typically found in mid-to-high power plasma systems, allowing for substantial metal removal rates without the excessive noise and fumes associated with carbon arc gouging. Users must ensure that their torch setup includes the appropriate shield cup or deflector designed for gouging operations to protect the tip and ensure optimal gas flow dynamics.
