10N45 - 10N45 #10 Alumina TIG Cup for 17, 18, 26 Torches (10 Pack)

Professional Grade 10N45 TIG Cups (Size #10)

The 10N45 Alumina TIG Cup is a staple consumable for professional welders utilizing the popular 17, 18, and 26 series TIG torches. Known as a size #10 cup, it features a 5/8-inch bore that is ideal for applications requiring a broader gas envelope. This increased coverage is crucial for maintaining weld purity on reactive metals and for techniques that require a longer stick-out. By ensuring the weld pool and heat-affected zone are thoroughly shielded from the atmosphere, this nozzle helps produce clean, X-ray quality welds with minimal discoloration.

Constructed from high-impact alumina ceramic, this nozzle is built to endure the rigorous demands of industrial environments. It offers exceptional thermal conductivity and resistance to heat fracturing, which is common in lower-quality ceramics. The robust design allows for "walking the cup" techniques without rapid wear on the nozzle rim. Additionally, the smooth ceramic surface resists the buildup of spatter, ensuring that gas flow remains laminar and unobstructed throughout the life of the cup.

Compatibility is key in a busy workshop, and the 10N45 is designed to work with standard collet bodies across all major TIG torch brands, including Weldcraft, Lincoln, and CK Worldwide. This versatility makes it a go-to part for inventory management. Sold in a convenient pack of 10, these nozzles provide excellent value, allowing welders to swap out consumables as needed to maintain peak torch performance. Whether you are welding thick aluminum plate or stainless steel pipe, the 10N45 provides the reliability and consistency required for professional results.
