TIg Collet Body

A Matweld TIG Collet Body is a crucial component in a TIG welding torch. Its primary function is to securely hold the tungsten electrode in place, ensuring stability and precise arc control during welding. It also plays a vital role in directing the shielding gas towards the weld pool. The collet body is typically made of copper or a copper alloy to provide good electrical conductivity and heat dissipation.

Matweld offers collet bodies in various sizes to accommodate different diameters of tungsten electrodes. These collet bodies are often designed to be compatible with specific TIG torch series, such as the 17, 18, and 26 series.

Key Features:

• Secure Electrode Holding: Ensures the tungsten electrode remains firmly in position for stable welding.
• Shielding Gas Delivery: Facilitates the flow of shielding gas to protect the weld zone from atmospheric contamination.
• Good Conductivity: Made from copper or copper alloys for efficient transfer of welding current.
• Heat Dissipation: Helps to draw heat away from the electrode.
• Size Variety: Available in different sizes to match various tungsten electrode diameters (e.g., 1.6mm, 2.4mm, 3.2mm).
• Torch Series Compatibility: Designed to fit specific TIG torch models (e.g., 17, 18, 26 series).
• Standard or Gas Lens Options: May be a standard collet body or designed for use with a gas lens for enhanced performance.
• Durable Construction: Built to withstand the heat and demands of TIG welding.

Key Benefits:

• Stable Arc: Securely held electrode contributes to a more stable and consistent welding arc.
• Clean Welds: Proper shielding gas delivery helps prevent weld contamination, resulting in higher quality welds.
• Optimal Performance: Ensures the TIG torch functions correctly and efficiently.
• Versatility: Availability in different sizes allows for use with various welding applications and tungsten electrode sizes.
• Compatibility: Designed to work seamlessly with specific Matweld TIG torches.
