If you’ve recently noticed changes in your electrode specs or shorter consumable lifetimes, you’re not alone. With global silver prices surging, manufacturers are transitioning away from 100% solid silver electrodes to copper-silver hybrid alternatives.
While this lowers costs for manufacturers, it hurts your factory floor:
Faster Wear: Hybrids retain more heat, wearing out faster
Poorer Cut Quality: Lower thermal conductivity causes arc instability
More Downtime: Frequent consumable changes slow down production
At Nordic Pro Tech AS, we still supply premium 100% solid silver electrodes (including Kjellberg® alternatives) at fair, competitive prices.
Keep your torch running cooler and eliminate unnecessary downtime.
