    TIG Accessory Kits FAQs

    Straight answers to the questions people ask when choosing a TIG torch accessory kit.

    How do I know which kit fits my torch?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

    Identify your torch series first. Most air- and water-cooled TIG torches belong to one of two common part families, often called the 9/20 (or 2 series) group and the 17/18/26 (or 3 series) group. Collet bodies in the first group are smaller than in the second.

    Parts from one family do not normally fit the other, although some adapter or stubby kits exist for particular combinations. Check the torch body, handbook or data plate, and the fit list for the kit, before ordering.

    Which type of tungsten should I choose?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

    For DC welding of steel and stainless, lanthanated and ceriated electrodes are widely used today, and zirconiated or pure tungsten has traditionally been used for AC on aluminium. Lanthanated tungsten is often recommended as a good all-round choice because it works on both AC and DC.

    Thoriated tungsten was once the standard for DC but has largely fallen out of favour because it is slightly radioactive. If a kit includes tungsten, check which type it is, and read the safety answer below before grinding any thoriated electrodes.

    What tungsten diameter should I use?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

    Choose the diameter by the welding current. Larger diameters carry higher current, while smaller ones make arc starting easier at very low current. A medium size is a versatile general-purpose choice for many jobs.

    A tungsten that is too small for the current can overheat, melt at the tip and contaminate the weld. One that is too large for the job can give a poor, wandering arc at low current. Each tungsten maker publishes a current range for each diameter, and AC usually allows a lower current than DC.

    How do I choose the right cup size?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

    Cups are numbered by size, and a larger number means a wider cup. A larger cup gives wider gas coverage and suits more demanding jobs and longer tungsten extension, while a smaller cup gives better access to tight joints and uses less gas.

    Cup size is not set by tungsten diameter alone: it depends on the joint, the metal and the coverage you need. Many kits include a few sizes so you can match the cup to the job. A gas lens can improve coverage for the same cup size.
