The diameter of the nozzle through which the plasma arc passes. (Also referred to as nozzle diameter).

The voltage present at the electrode in the brief interval before the torch ignites and whenever the arc is extinguished with the power source still active.

Unit of electrical resistance to current flow.

Refers to the coating being eccentric and thicker on one side of the electrode than the opposite side. Also referred to as ?Fingernailing?, which isn?t always due to coating eccentricity. Could be a result of formulation as well.

The diameter of the nozzle through which the plasma arc passes. (Also referred to as orifice diameter).
