What are plasma cutter consumables?
Plasma cutter consumables are a set of components in your plasma cutter that gradually wear over time until they need to be replaced: they have a life cycle. The consumables are all found in the cutting torch itself, which is where most of the energy is focussed, and keeping track of wear and tear is a key part of maintaining an efficient machine that cuts well and lasts a long time. Plasma cutting torch consumables include: a swirl ring, electrode, nozzle, retaining cap, and shield cap.

Product Description
Nozzle:
The nozzle focuses the plasma arc and the gas that surrounds it to make a clean and precise cut. A nozzle with a larger
opening is used for gouging, while a nozzle with a smaller opening is better able to direct the gas and so is used for fine, detailed work
Electrode:
The electrode is a narrow piece of copper containing hafnium (which is an excellent conductor of electricity). Its job is to receive the electrical current from a cathode block inside the torch to which it is connected, and to focus the charge through its tip, which causes it to arc onto the workpiece.
Retaining cap:
The retaining cap essentially holds all of the consumable parts of the torch together. As temperatures at this end of the machine are extremely high, it's not just the parts creating and focussing the arc that are worn down; the component holding them together also degrades over time.
Shield cap:
The shield is there to protect the torch and its other components from the sparks and molten metal that result from the plasmacutting process. It takes the brunt of the fallout so that wear to other components is minimised as much as possible.
