The Weldcraft 54N17L is a premium Alumina Gas Lens Long Nozzle designed to meet the rigorous demands of professional TIG welding. Engineered by Miller Weldcraft, a leader in TIG torch technology, this nozzle is specifically manufactured for use with 17, 18, and 26 series TIG torches. This specific model features a #5 orifice, measuring 5/16 of an inch (approximately 8mm), making it a versatile choice for a variety of joint configurations and amperage ranges. The nozzle is constructed from high-grade alumina ceramic, a material chosen for its exceptional thermal properties. Alumina offers high impact resistance and superior heat resistance, ensuring the nozzle maintains its structural integrity even during prolonged welding cycles at elevated temperatures.
One of the primary technical advantages of the 54N17L is its "Long" form factor. In complex fabrication environments, welders often encounter joints that are recessed or obstructed by surrounding structures. Standard length nozzles can limit the torch angle or prevent the tungsten from reaching the root of the weld. This long nozzle extends the reach of the torch, allowing for significantly greater tungsten extension. When paired with a gas lens collet body, this extension does not compromise the shielding gas envelope. The gas lens creates a laminar flow of argon, pushing the gas further out in a coherent stream, which protects the weld pool from atmospheric contamination even when the electrode sticks out further than standard setups allow.
Thermal conductivity is another critical specification of this alumina component. By effectively managing heat dissipation, the nozzle helps protect the front-end torch components from overheating. Furthermore, the surface finish of the ceramic is designed to resist spatter buildup, which is crucial for maintaining a clean gas path and preventing turbulence in the shielding gas flow. Turbulence can lead to porosity and weld defects, necessitating costly rework. By utilizing genuine Weldcraft parts like the 54N17L, fabricators ensure consistent performance and adherence to quality standards. This product is supplied in a package of 10, providing a cost-effective inventory solution for high-volume welding operations.
