220629 - Hypertherm 220629 HPR400XD/HPR800XD 400A Mild Steel Electrode

High-Performance 400A Electrode for Industrial Fabrication

The Hypertherm 220629 Electrode is a critical consumable component designed specifically for the HyPerformance® HPR400XD and HPR800XD plasma cutting systems. Engineered to withstand the rigorous demands of high-amperage industrial environments, this electrode is rated for 400 Amps and is optimized for processing mild steel. In the world of mechanized plasma cutting, the quality of the electrode directly influences the stability of the arc, the precision of the cut, and the overall efficiency of the production line. By utilizing genuine Hypertherm consumables, operators ensure that their high-performance machinery operates within factory specifications, delivering consistent results shift after shift.

Constructed from high-grade copper, this electrode features advanced thermal properties that allow it to maintain structural integrity under the intense heat generated during 400A cutting and beveling operations. The specific geometry and hafnium insert design are tailored for mild steel applications, ensuring a clean cut with minimal dross and excellent edge angularity. This level of precision is essential for industries such as heavy equipment manufacturing, structural steel fabrication, and shipbuilding, where downstream welding and assembly processes rely on accurate part dimensions. The 220629 electrode is part of the HyPerformance consumable suite, known for its "Long Life" technology which significantly reduces consumable changeover time and lowers operating costs.

Integrating this electrode into your HPR system guarantees compatibility and safety. Mismatched or aftermarket consumables can lead to torch damage, poor cut quality, and voided warranties. The 220629 is designed to work in unison with the nozzle, swirl ring, and shield to focus the plasma stream effectively. Whether performing standard straight cuts or complex bevels, this electrode provides the reliability required for automated systems. Regular inspection and timely replacement of the electrode are vital for maintaining cut quality; a worn electrode can cause damage to the nozzle and reduce the lifespan of the torch head.

For facility managers and procurement specialists, stocking genuine Hypertherm 220629 electrodes means investing in uptime. The predictability of Hypertherm's consumable life allows for better maintenance planning and inventory management. This product is sold individually, allowing for flexible ordering based on current production needs. Ensure your HPR400XD or HPR800XD system continues to deliver industry-leading performance by choosing the correct mild steel electrode for your 400A processes.
