Technical Data of TIG WP-9 welding torch

The TIG WP-9 welding torch series represents a totally new concept in welding torch design, form and function. Unique ergonomics,following extensive research, provide a greater sense of control, enabling the welder to feel as “one” with his torch. The trigger position, trigger design and ball joint construction guarantee optimum balance and comfort in all welding positions.Tough working conditions are to be expected when MIG/MAG welding. Despite their lower weight and sophisticated design, the TIG WP-9 torch line sets new benchmarks for strength and durability. Featuring newly designed, more robust fittings and improved space inside the handle for ease of servicing. Technology for professionals.

An electric arc welding method in an inert atmosphere. It is the most effective, economical processes for the difficult welding of metals such as: stainless steel, aluminium, beryllium, copper, brass, cast iron, nickel, tantalum, titanium, columbio, mobilden, Evendur, Inconel, Monel alloys and cryogenic welding.

The arc, which is formed between the electrode and the base metal, is protected by gas (argon or helium or a mixture of the two gases) coming out of the gun where the electrode protrudes. The arc is ignited by a pilot spark which, causing ionisation of the protective gas, makes it conductive. For the high melting temperature of tungsten, the electrode does not melt and therefore does not take part in the melting process. The filler metal, present if the thickness of the pieces is higher than 1mm, is added into the electric arc area and will form the welding cord when melted. The entire welding area (arc, electrode, molten metal base, filler metal) is immersed in an inert environment consisting of the protective gas. This fact prevents the oxidation of the welded joint by the atmosphere and also allows the welding of reactive materials.
