10CB2M - Weldcraft CS310 TIG Collet Body 2.0mm

Technical Overview of the Weldcraft 10CB2M Collet Body

The Weldcraft 10CB2M Collet Body is a specialized consumable component engineered specifically for the CS310 (Crafter Series) water-cooled TIG welding torch. Unlike standard 10N or 13N series consumables, the 10CB series is designed to accommodate the unique architecture of the CS310, which delivers high amperage performance (up to 310A) in a compact form factor. This specific collet body features a precision-bored 2.0mm internal diameter, intended for use with 2.0mm tungsten electrodes, a common metric size in international and precision fabrication markets.

Manufactured from a high-grade tellurium-copper or similar conductive alloy, the 10CB2M is critical for the electrical efficiency of the welding circuit. It serves as the primary interface between the torch's power cable and the tungsten electrode (via the collet). The material composition is selected to maximize electrical conductivity, minimizing resistance heating at the contact points, while simultaneously facilitating rapid thermal transfer to the water-cooled torch head. This thermal management is essential for preventing the deformation of the collet body threads and maintaining the structural integrity of the front-end assembly during high-duty-cycle operations.

The internal geometry of the 10CB2M is machined to tight tolerances to ensure concentricity of the electrode. This concentricity is vital for maintaining a focused arc and preventing arc wander, particularly in automated or high-precision manual applications. Furthermore, the collet body includes gas ports designed to laminarize the flow of shielding gas (Argon or Helium mixtures) as it exits the nozzle, reducing turbulence and the risk of atmospheric contamination in the weld pool. As a genuine Weldcraft product, it meets strict OEM specifications for thread pitch and dimensional accuracy, ensuring a secure mechanical connection to the torch body and the gas cup (nozzle).
