A796F73 - Weldcraft A796F73 #6 Long Alumina TIG Nozzle (10-Pack)

Technical Overview of Weldcraft A796F73

The Weldcraft A796F73 is a specialized Alumina Long Nozzle designed for precision TIG welding applications requiring extended reach. Manufactured from high-grade alumina ceramic, this nozzle offers excellent dielectric strength and thermal stability, making it suitable for both AC and DC TIG welding processes. The nozzle features a #6 orifice, corresponding to a 3/8-inch (9.5mm) diameter, which provides a focused column of shielding gas essential for protecting the weld pool from atmospheric contamination.

This component is engineered to fit standard TIG torch series, specifically the WP-9 and WP-20 air-cooled and water-cooled models, as well as compatible torches from other manufacturers. The 'Long' designation indicates an extended body length compared to standard 13N series nozzles, allowing the tungsten electrode to extend further while maintaining adequate gas shielding. This is critical for root passes in pipe welding or fillet welds in restricted access areas. The alumina material is chosen for its balance of cost-effectiveness and performance, offering resistance to thermal shock and spatter adhesion.

Supplied in a pack of 10, the A796F73 ensures that industrial operators have a ready supply of consumables to minimize downtime. Consistent manufacturing tolerances ensure a secure thread fit onto the collet body or gas lens, preventing gas leakage and turbulence that could compromise weld quality. This product meets the rigorous standards expected of Miller and Weldcraft TIG accessories.
