While the look of the weld is unimportant in some projects, in certain applications, it’s crucial to do the work neatly. That’s why TIG welding is frequently used to create door handles, fenders, bike frames, and other similar items. There are a variety of components that go into building the equipment necessary for this task. Among these is the ceramic cup. When you’re looking through the various options, Nadler Welding & Repair Shop of Wentzville, MO, recommends picking a high-amp super cup. Here’s why.

What Are High-Amp Super Cups?

The standard cups for TIG welding are made out of ceramic. Unfortunately, these can crack, melt, or even be pushed off the tool due to thermal shock. With a high-amp super cup, you don’t need to worry about any of these issues. These parts are made from silicon nitride and treated in a pure nitrogen environment to make them incredibly durable.

What Are the Benefits?

Due to the gases used, the materials during TIG welding might be heated to an incredibly high temperature. There is no need to worry the super cup will be damaged by this. Additionally, there’s little to no risk of thermal shock occurring. Furthermore, because of the super cup’s heat-resistant material, the risk of heat transference is lowered greatly, so the welding tool won’t get too hot in your hand while you’re operating it.
