OVERVIEW

Esab 10N50 Alumina TIG Nozzle Cup #4 (1/4")

The Esab 10N50 Alumina TIG Nozzle Cup is a premium-quality consumable designed to meet the rigorous demands of professional TIG welding. Manufactured from high-grade alumina ceramic, this nozzle offers exceptional resistance to high temperatures and thermal shock, ensuring longevity and consistent performance even during extended welding sessions. The #4 size, featuring a 1/4-inch (6.4mm) orifice, provides a focused stream of shielding gas, making it an excellent choice for precision work on thinner materials or when accessing tighter joints where a larger cup might obstruct the view or fit.

This nozzle is engineered for universal compatibility with the industry-standard 3-series TIG torches, which includes the popular 17, 18, and 26 series models. Whether you are using an air-cooled or water-cooled setup, the 10N50 integrates seamlessly with standard collet bodies (such as the 10N32, 10N31, or 10N29 depending on tungsten size). Its threaded design ensures a secure fit, preventing gas leakage and maintaining the integrity of the shielding atmosphere around the weld pool. The alumina material also boasts non-conductive properties, adding an extra layer of safety against accidental arcing if the cup touches the workpiece.

In industrial maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO), having reliable consumables is critical to minimizing downtime. The Esab 10N50 is a standard stock item that welders rely on for its durability and consistent manufacturing tolerances. Unlike lower-quality ceramics that may crack under rapid cooling or heating cycles, this OEM-quality nozzle maintains its structural integrity. It is suitable for both AC and DC TIG welding processes, handling the heat generated by welding aluminum, stainless steel, and mild steel effectively.

Key Features:

  • Material Excellence: Made from durable alumina ceramic to withstand high heat and impact.
  • Precision Sizing: #4 size (1/4") allows for tight control of gas coverage in detailed applications.
  • Broad Compatibility: Fits all major brands of 17, 18, and 26 series TIG torches.
  • Standard Fit: Screws directly onto standard collet bodies for a leak-free seal.

FAQ

The 10N50 nozzle is compatible with all 17, 18, and 26 series TIG torches, regardless of the brand (Weldcraft, CK, Miller, Lincoln, Esab, etc.).

A #4 TIG cup has an orifice diameter of 1/4 inch, or approximately 6.4 millimeters.

No, the 10N50 is a standard nozzle designed to fit standard collet bodies (like the 10N32). It does not fit gas lens collet bodies, which require different nozzles (typically the 54N series).

Alumina (ceramic) nozzles generally offer better impact resistance and consistency than Lava nozzles. They are the modern standard for general-purpose TIG welding.

Yes, the 10N50 can be used for AC TIG welding of aluminum, provided the amperage is within the range of the torch and consumable capability.

This specific item listing is for a single nozzle, though they are often bulk-packaged. Please check the quantity selector when ordering.

You should replace the cup if it becomes cracked, chipped, or heavily built up with spatter that obstructs gas flow, as this can lead to poor weld quality.

No, the WP-9 and WP-20 torches are 2-series torches and use smaller consumables (13N series). The 10N50 is for 3-series torches (17/18/26).
