A process for starting a plasma arc torch is disclosed which minimizes the oxidation of the electrode to thereby extend the life of the electrode. A flow of non-oxidizing gas is first generated between the discharge end of the torch electrode and the nozzle assembly of the torch. A pilot arc then is created between the discharge end of the electrode and the nozzle assembly. The pilot arc is transferred and the flow of non-oxidizing gas is terminated. A flow of oxidizing gas then is generated for plasma formation.
