OVERVIEW

Genuine Weldcraft 10N46 TIG Welding Cups

Achieve superior weld quality and consistent shielding gas coverage with the Weldcraft 10N46 Alumina Nozzle. As a critical component of your TIG torch assembly, the gas cup directs the flow of inert gas (typically Argon) over the weld pool, protecting it from atmospheric contaminants. The 10N46 is a #8 size cup, providing a 1/2-inch orifice that delivers a broad umbrella of shielding gas. This size is versatile enough for a wide range of joint geometries, offering excellent coverage for both fillet and butt welds on various metal thicknesses.

Constructed from advanced alumina ceramic, this nozzle is built to endure the rigors of industrial welding. Alumina is chosen for its exceptional combination of high heat resistance, thermal conductivity, and mechanical strength. Unlike standard ceramic cups that may become brittle and crack under thermal stress, Weldcraft's alumina nozzles maintain their structural integrity even during prolonged welding sessions at higher amperages. This resilience translates to cost savings over time, as fewer nozzles are discarded due to breakage or heat damage.

The 10N46 is designed for universal compatibility with the popular 3 Series TIG torches. This includes the air-cooled WP-17 and WP-26 models, as well as the water-cooled WP-18 model. It threads easily onto the collet body or gas lens insulator, creating a tight seal that prevents gas leakage and turbulence. Whether you are welding in a fabrication shop, an automotive garage, or on a construction site, these nozzles provide the reliability professional welders demand. The pack of 10 ensures you have ample supply for large projects.

Welders Supply is proud to offer genuine Weldcraft products, a brand synonymous with TIG welding excellence. Using OEM-quality consumables like the 10N46 ensures that your equipment operates at peak performance. The smooth interior finish of the nozzle promotes laminar gas flow, reducing turbulence that can lead to porosity in the weld. Furthermore, the exterior resists spatter adhesion, keeping the nozzle clean and functional for longer. Trust Weldcraft for your TIG consumables and maintain the high standards your work requires.

FAQ

The 10N46 nozzle fits all 17, 18, and 26 series TIG torches, often referred to as the "3 Series" torches. This includes models from Weldcraft, Miller, CK Worldwide, and Lincoln.

The 10N46 is a #8 size cup, which corresponds to a 1/2-inch (12.7mm) inside diameter orifice.

This product is sold as a package of 10 nozzles.

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

Yes, this nozzle is suitable for TIG welding aluminum, stainless steel, and mild steel, provided you are using a compatible torch.

You will need the standard insulator and collet body designed for 17/18/26 series torches to mount this nozzle properly.

This specific part number (10N46) is a standard nozzle. If you are using a gas lens setup, you typically need a different series of nozzles (like the 54N series) depending on the gas lens size, though some setups vary. Always check your specific gas lens compatibility.
