TIG Welder Collets

TIG welder collets are a critical component inside the torch head, responsible for holding the tungsten electrode securely in place and transferring the welding current to it. Made from high-quality copper, these collets must match the diameter of the tungsten being used (e.g., 1.6mm, 2.4mm, 3.2mm) to ensure a stable electrical contact and precise electrode positioning. Over time, collets can twist or deform due to heat and tightening, which can lead to poor arc stability and gas flow issues.

Regularly inspecting and replacing your collets is a simple but vital part of TIG torch maintenance. Using fresh, undamaged collets ensures consistent current transfer and helps maintain the quality of your welds. They work in conjunction with the collet body to center the electrode within the gas cup, ensuring uniform shielding gas coverage around the weld pool.
