This is the ultimate solution for welding aerospace grade metals where an
inert environment is required. Manufactured from high temperature silicone, the
Trailing Shield withstands the heat absorbed by any #16 or 1? welding cup and
will hold its structural integrity to 100+ amp welds. The Trailing Shield also
includes a built-in drag bar on the tail of the shield to assist in the
prevention of direct heated material contact. **Please note that the
silicone body is meant to hover above and not contact the actual weld seam. **
Proven, multi-layer screen diffuser combined with the
shower head diffuser fitting integrate seamlessly with the silicone while
providing additional rigidity to the body of the shield; providing excellent
argon diffusion to the weldment. The reinforced screen diffuser allows for the
radius to be adjusted by slightly bending the stainless-steel diffuser.
User setup tips and tricks:
Included hose retention tab is designed to snap on to the
back cap and align the argon inlet hose perfectly straight into the shield
body, ensuring consistent results when manipulating torch angle during the weld
process. (we recommend using Tig Aesthetics 6mm Argon Purge line)
Recommended gas flow for the Trailing Shield is 15-20
SCFH. *Dependent on weldment and environment. *
Ensure a proper setup by running a test pass on some
scrap material to solidify personal preference on flow and speed.
