OVERVIEW

High-Performance Alumina TIG Nozzles for Precision Welding

The Weldcraft 10N45 Alumina Nozzle is a critical consumable for professional TIG welders seeking reliability and consistency in their shielding gas coverage. Manufactured from high-grade alumina ceramic, these nozzles are engineered to withstand the intense thermal cycles inherent in Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW). The #10 size, featuring a 5/8-inch (16mm) orifice, is specifically designed to provide a broad umbrella of shielding gas, making it an excellent choice for applications requiring extended tungsten stick-out or when welding reactive metals that demand superior atmospheric protection.

Durability is a key feature of the Weldcraft 10N45. The alumina composition offers exceptional resistance to high impact and thermal shock, reducing the frequency of cracking during rapid heating and cooling phases. Furthermore, the material naturally resists the adhesion of weld spatter, ensuring that the gas flow path remains unobstructed for longer periods compared to lower-quality alternatives. This resistance to buildup minimizes turbulence in the gas stream, promoting a laminar flow that is essential for producing clean, porosity-free welds.

Compatibility is a major advantage of this product line. The 10N45 nozzle is designed to fit the industry-standard "3 Series" front-end parts, making it fully compatible with 17, 18, and 26 series TIG torches from Weldcraft, Miller, CK Worldwide, Lincoln Electric, and other major manufacturers. This universal fitment allows fabrication shops to standardize their inventory, reducing complexity and downtime.

Supplied in a convenient pack of 10, these nozzles ensure that operators have immediate access to replacements, maintaining productivity on the shop floor. Whether you are welding stainless steel, carbon steel, or aluminum, the Weldcraft 10N45 provides the thermal conductivity and structural integrity required for high-quality fabrication.

Key Technical Benefits

  • Thermal Conductivity: Efficiently dissipates heat to protect the torch head.
  • Impact Resistance: Formulated to resist chipping and cracking in industrial environments.
  • Universal Fit: Seamlessly integrates with standard collet bodies on air-cooled and water-cooled torches.

FAQ

The 10N45 nozzle fits all standard 17, 18, and 26 series TIG torches, often referred to as the '3 Series' consumables.

A #10 cup has an orifice diameter of 5/8 of an inch, or approximately 16mm.

This package contains 10 individual 10N45 alumina nozzles.

Yes, it is compatible with CK Worldwide 17, 18, and 26 series torches as they use the standard industry threading.

It is made from high-impact alumina ceramic, known for its heat resistance and durability.

No, the 10N45 is a standard nozzle designed to thread onto a standard collet body. It is not designed for use with a gas lens collet body (which would typically require a 53N series nozzle).

A #10 cup provides a wider gas coverage area, which is beneficial for welding reactive metals or when a longer tungsten stick-out is required.

Yes, alumina nozzles are suitable for both AC and DC TIG welding processes, including aluminum.
