10N46SC - #8 Alumina Ceramic Cup for 17/18/26 TIG Torches

Reliable #8 TIG Cup for Everyday Welding

Every TIG welder knows that your consumables can make or break a weld. If you are running a standard WP-17, WP-18, or WP-26 torch, the 10N46 #8 Alumina Cup is one of those parts you always want to have in your kit. Whether you are walking the cup on pipe or laying down precision beads on stainless steel, this #8 cup gives you the gas coverage you need to keep your puddle clean and your tungsten bright.

Why choose a #8 cup? The 1/2-inch opening is a perfect "middle of the road" size for a wide variety of applications. It is wide enough to provide excellent shielding gas coverage—helping you avoid those frustrating porosity holes—but not so huge that it wastes gas or gets in the way of tight corners. It allows for a decent amount of tungsten stick-out, which is great when you need to see exactly where your arc is going in a fillet weld or a deep groove.

Durability is key in the shop. We know cups get dropped, banged against workpieces, and subjected to extreme heat. This nozzle is made from tough alumina ceramic (that's the pink stuff), which handles the heat of high-amperage AC aluminum welding or DC steel welding like a champ. It resists thermal shock, meaning it won't crack just because it got hot fast. It screws on smooth and stays tight, so you don't have to worry about it rattling loose in the middle of a pass.

This cup fits the most common torches in the industry. If you have a 17 (the standard air-cooled torch), a 26 (the heavy-duty air-cooled), or an 18 (the water-cooled beast), this part fits them all. It connects to your standard collet body setup. Stop overpaying for the name on the box when you can get the same performance with this high-quality generic replacement. Keep your arc stable and your welds shiny with a fresh 10N46 cup.
