Welding Nozzles

Welding nozzles are an essential part of a welding torch, they help to shape and direct the flame or arc onto the workpiece. They are typically made of copper or brass and can come in a variety of shapes and sizes depending on the welding process and the type of metal being welded.

The most common types of welding nozzles are:

  • Gas lens nozzles, that are used to improve the gas flow and to provide a more stable and focused flame.
  • Long back-cap nozzles, that are used to protect the gas lens from contamination and to provide a longer reach for welding in tight spaces.
  • Swirl ring nozzles, that are used to improve the mixing of the fuel and oxygen and to provide a more stable and focused flame
  • Water-cooled nozzles, that are used to dissipate heat and prolong the life of the nozzle.

The type of nozzle you use depends on the type of welding process and the metal being welded. It is important to use the correct nozzle for the application and to make sure it is properly installed, maintained, and kept clean to ensure a safe and effective welding process.
