Welding Torch Collet

A welding torch collet is a small metal component used in welding torches to hold the tungsten electrode in place. It is typically made of copper or brass and is designed to securely grip the electrode while allowing for easy installation and removal.

The collet is an essential part of the torch's head assembly and is responsible for maintaining proper alignment and stability of the electrode during the welding process. It helps to ensure a consistent arc and reliable performance.

Welding torch collets come in various sizes to accommodate different electrode diameters. They are often used in TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding, where precise control and accuracy are required.

It is important to regularly inspect and replace worn or damaged collets to maintain the quality of the weld and prevent any potential issues during the welding operation.
