The Lincoln Electric KP2017-5B1 is a high-performance Alumina Nozzle designed for precision TIG welding applications. Classified as a No. 8 nozzle, it features a 1/2-inch (12.7 mm) orifice diameter, making it an ideal choice for applications requiring a balance between gas coverage and accessibility. This component is engineered to fit Lincoln Electric's Pro-Torch series, specifically the PTA-9, PTA-20, and PTW-20 TIG torches, ensuring seamless integration with existing equipment setups.
Manufactured from high-grade alumina ceramic, this nozzle exhibits exceptional thermal properties. Alumina (aluminum oxide) is chosen for its high melting point and resistance to thermal shock, allowing the nozzle to withstand the intense heat cycles typical of Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) without cracking or degrading prematurely. The ceramic material also provides electrical insulation, preventing arc wandering and ensuring safety during operation. The threaded base is precision-molded to screw securely onto standard collet bodies or gas lens assemblies compatible with the specified torch series.
In industrial MRO contexts, maintaining a stock of genuine consumables like the KP2017-5B1 is critical for minimizing downtime. Worn or damaged nozzles can lead to turbulent gas flow, resulting in porosity and weld defects. This specific SKU ensures that maintenance teams have the exact OEM specification required for their Lincoln Electric welding systems, guaranteeing reliability and performance consistency across welding stations.
