OVERVIEW

Premium Alumina Gas Lens Nozzles for Precision TIG Welding

The Weldcraft 53N60 Alumina Gas Lens Nozzle is a critical consumable designed to enhance the performance of air-cooled and water-cooled TIG torches. Engineered with high-grade alumina ceramic, this nozzle offers exceptional thermal conductivity and resistance to thermal shock, making it ideal for high-amperage applications and prolonged welding cycles. The #6 size, with a 3/8-inch (9.5mm) orifice, provides a balanced shielding gas envelope suitable for a wide range of joint configurations and material thicknesses.

This nozzle is specifically manufactured for use with gas lens collet bodies. Unlike standard collet bodies, gas lenses utilize a mesh screen to laminarize the flow of shielding gas. When paired with the 53N60 nozzle, this system significantly reduces turbulence, ensuring a coherent gas stream that protects the weld pool from atmospheric contamination. This improved coverage allows the welder to extend the tungsten electrode further beyond the nozzle cup—often up to an inch or more—providing better visibility and access into deep grooves, corners, and confined spaces without compromising shield integrity.

Compatibility is a key feature of the 53N60. It is designed to fit industry-standard 9, 20, 22, 24, and 25 series TIG torches. Whether you are using a compact air-cooled torch for intricate work or a heavy-duty water-cooled torch for production fabrication, these nozzles ensure a secure fit and reliable performance. The alumina material also resists splatter buildup, reducing downtime required for cleaning and maintenance. Supplied in a pack of 10, this product ensures that professional fabricators have a ready supply of high-quality consumables to maintain productivity and weld quality.

Key Technical Benefits:

  • Thermal Durability: Withstands high temperatures without cracking or deforming.
  • Enhanced Visibility: Enables longer tungsten stick-out for better sight lines.
  • Gas Efficiency: Optimizes shielding gas usage by creating a focused column of flow.

FAQ

The 53N60 nozzle is compatible with 9, 20, 22, 24, and 25 series TIG torches.

This is a gas lens nozzle. It is designed to be used specifically with a gas lens collet body, not a standard collet body.

A #6 nozzle has an orifice diameter of 3/8 of an inch, or approximately 9.5 millimeters.

This product is sold as a package of 10 nozzles.

It is manufactured from high-impact alumina ceramic, known for its heat resistance and durability.

Gas lens nozzles provide better gas coverage by reducing turbulence. This allows you to extend the tungsten further for better visibility and access to tight joints.

No, the 53N60 is designed for the smaller front-end parts of the 9 and 20 series. 17 and 26 series torches typically use larger nozzles (like the 54N series for gas lenses).

Yes, alumina nozzles are suitable for both AC and DC TIG welding processes.
