The ESAB 85Z11 is a premium-grade alumina ceramic cup engineered specifically for the Heliarc HW-10 series of TIG welding torches. In precision welding environments, the integrity of the shielding gas envelope is paramount to preventing atmospheric contamination and ensuring weld quality. This #8 nozzle features a 1/2-inch (12.7mm) orifice, providing a balanced gas coverage area suitable for a wide range of joint configurations and amperage settings.
Manufactured from high-purity alumina, this consumable is designed to withstand the intense thermal cycling inherent in industrial TIG welding. Unlike lower-grade materials that may crack under rapid temperature changes, the 85Z11 maintains its structural integrity, reducing downtime associated with frequent consumable replacement. The interior surface is finished to minimize gas turbulence, promoting a laminar flow that effectively shields the tungsten electrode and the molten weld pool.
For MRO professionals and fabrication shops utilizing the robust HW-10 torch platform, maintaining a stock of genuine ESAB consumables ensures equipment performs to factory specifications. The threaded connection provides a secure seal against the torch body, preventing gas leakage that could compromise the weld. Whether working on stainless steel, aluminum, or exotic alloys, the 85Z11 delivers the consistency required for code-quality welds.
