The load values of the plasma nozzles are closely related to other parameters, especially the sel-
ected plasma gas quantities and the position of the electrode tip in the plasma nozzle. In particu-
lar, the variation in the amount of plasma gas, even beyond the above-mentioned limits, causes a
fundamental change in the plasma jet characteristics.
