TIG Accessories FAQs

Straight answers to the questions people ask most when choosing and using accessories for TIG welding.

What accessories might I need for TIG welding?

Beyond the machine, torch and consumables, a range of extras can make TIG welding easier or give better results. Common ones include water coolers for water-cooled torches, trailing shields and purge chambers for better gas protection, purging aids such as flux and tape for stainless steel, gauges for setting tungsten stick-out and checking gas flow, adaptors and quick connectors for gas and water, arc starters that add features to simple machines, and trolleys to carry the equipment.

What you need depends on your machine, your torch and the metals you weld.

Do I need a water cooler, and what size?

You need one if you use a water-cooled torch, which is the usual choice for higher currents and long, continuous welding. The cooler circulates coolant through the torch and cable, keeping them cool and allowing a lighter, slimmer cable than an air-cooled torch of the same rating.

Check that the cooler suits your torch and your power supply: its voltage, its water connections, and its capacity to cool at the heat your torch produces. Some machines and trolleys have a cooler built in or a place to mount one.

What should I put in a water cooler?

Use the coolant recommended by the cooler's maker. Plain tap water can cause scale, algae and corrosion, and in cold weather can freeze and damage the pump and hoses. A proper coolant mixture protects against these problems.

Check the level before you weld, top up with the correct fluid, and never run the torch without coolant flowing. Change the coolant at the intervals the maker gives, and follow the maker's instructions on disposal.

What is a trailing shield and when do I need one?

A trailing shield is an attachment that fits behind the torch cup and sends a stream of shielding gas over the weld after the torch has passed. Some metals, such as titanium and stainless steel, stay hot enough to oxidise as they cool, so the extra gas protects them while they cool down.

It is most useful for reactive metals and for welds where discolouration is not acceptable. It must match your torch and be fitted so that it follows the weld evenly.
