MILLER - WELDCRAFT WP-17-25-R Tig Torch Kit A-150 25 Feet Rubber

Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding is an arc welding process that produces the weld via a non-consumable tungsten electrode. It is ideal for joining metals like stainless steel, aluminium, nickel & copper alloys, cobalt and titanium. TIG torch WP 17 from Miller Weldcraft is an air-cooled torch designed for maximum comfort. It is made from the highest quality copper alloys and is ideal for welding under 250A. This torch is excellent for portable applications as it does not require a bulky water cooler.

Working Mechanism:

• The current required for TIG welders is supplied by tungsten electrodes, which are temperature resistant and do not melt.
• These electrodes emit an arc that heats up and liquefies the material.
• There is a nozzle for shielding gas around the electrode.
• The inert (i.e. non reactive) gases prevent chemical reactions with the liquid weld pool and the heated material ensures high-quality weld seams.
• Due to the fact that tungsten electrodes do not melt, the filler material can either be fed in manually or mechanically by a wire feeder.

Features:

• Miller Weldcraft TIG Torch WP 17 features a Diamond Grip head design with ergonomic contact points for the thumb and fingers to provide a more comfortable grip and reduce operator fatigue.
• This torch has a flexible neck that allows access into hard-to-reach areas.
• The ribbed handle and torch design provide cool operation and reduce downtime.
• A-150 Series TIG Torch WP 17 uses Weldcraft 10N Series consumables.

Compatible Accessories:

• Power Source Packages: They provide AC or DC power and inert gas supply to Miller Weldcraft TIG torches.
• Tungsten Electrode Packages: They are attached to Miller Weldcraft TIG torches for forming welding arcs between themselves & the workpiece.
• Foot / Fingertip Controls: They are ideal for controlling the current supply to Miller Weldcraft TIG torches for welding.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. Which materials are used with AC & DC powered TIG torches?

A. AC powered TIG torches are generally used for welding non-ferrous metals like aluminium & magnesium, while DC powered Miller Weldcraft TIG torches are suitable for welding ferrous alloys like steel & stainless steel.

Q. Which is better - TIG or MIG welding?

A. TIG welds are better for thin metals and small projects because they produce precise and clean welds. MIG welds are ideal for large projects with thick metals that need long & continuous running.
