Gone are the days when the Indian welding industry was dominated by low technological innovation. With ever-evolving industrial demands, India has also started pacing its speed in automatic and semi-automatic welding production. The welding industry in India worth INR 4,000 cr wherein, welding consumables share is 71% and welding equipment s 29%. The increased FDI equity inflow in India has contributed to the rise in projects in automotive, offshore activities, oil & gas sector, shipbuilding and heavy machinery industries.

Like any other industry, Welding equipment producing industry also updates every day with regards to automation and technology. Among all other welding equipment like welders, wires and charged electrode feeds, welding contact tips hold a crucial role in transferring the welding current to the wire in a Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) & MIG/TIG welding system. They completes the quality welds and reduces downtime by boosting the productivity of the welding process. Also sometimes referred as swan neck or goose neck, welding contact tips are responsible for determining what wire size you can use and the amount of filler material that would be distributed during the welding process.

Welding operation is the most serious job of making permanent joints between two or more metals by heating them to a suitable temperature, pressure, filler materials & flux. Irrespective of any type of welding operation, welding guns play a vital role. With choosing accurate MIG welding contacts tips, it is also important to rely on the best MIG welding nozzles as doing so can help you reduce weld defects and downtime by boosting the productivity of welding operation.

In the previous part of Understanding Welding Nozzles, we learnt about MIG welding nozzles and in the following blog post, we are going learn about Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) Welding nozzles.

With regards to creating quality welds, we need to choose the best welding torch consumables that offers both consistency and durability during TIG welding operation. The most effective TIG welding nozzles not only helps you reduce downtime but also improves welding performance by boosting productivity.
