OVERVIEW

Premium Alumina Gas Nozzle for TIG Welding

The ESAB 10N46 Gas Nozzle is a high-quality consumable designed to meet the rigorous demands of professional TIG welding. Manufactured from premium alumina ceramic, this nozzle offers exceptional resistance to thermal shock and impact, ensuring a longer service life compared to standard ceramic cups. It is precision-engineered to fit standard collet bodies on 17, 18, and 26 series TIG torches, providing a secure and leak-free connection that is critical for maintaining shielding gas integrity.

With a Size #8 orifice (1/2-inch or 12.7mm), this nozzle provides a medium-to-wide gas coverage area. This makes it an excellent choice for general-purpose welding on materials such as mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum, where adequate shielding is necessary to prevent atmospheric contamination of the weld pool. The smooth interior finish of the nozzle promotes laminar gas flow, reducing turbulence and enhancing arc stability.

ESAB is renowned for producing welding accessories that professionals trust. The 10N46 nozzle exemplifies this commitment to quality, offering consistent dimensions and reliable performance. Whether you are working in aerospace, automotive fabrication, or general industrial repair, this nozzle ensures that your torch setup is optimized for precision and efficiency.

FAQ

The 10N46 nozzle is designed to fit standard 17, 18, and 26 series TIG torches (including WP-17, WP-18, and WP-26 models).

It is a Size #8 cup, which corresponds to an orifice diameter of 1/2 inch or approximately 12.7mm.

No, the 10N series nozzles are designed for standard collet bodies. If you are using a gas lens, you typically need 54N series nozzles.

It is manufactured from high-grade alumina ceramic, known for its electrical insulation and resistance to high temperatures.

A Size #8 cup (1/2") is a good general-purpose size. Use it when you need slightly more gas coverage than a #6 or #7 cup provides, or for medium-amperage applications.

This is a screw-on nozzle that threads onto the standard collet body of the torch.

Yes, the alumina ceramic material is suitable for the heat generated by both AC (aluminum/magnesium) and DC (steel/stainless) TIG welding processes.
