Product Description

The Ticon 903-78016-0000 TIG Aesthetics Silicone Trailing Shield is a TIG welding accessory engineered to create a localized inert gas shield behind the weld arc. Constructed from high-temperature silicone, this trailing shield withstands the heat from a #16 or ~1" TIG welding cup up to and beyond 100 amps without deformation, while helping maintain an argon-rich environment around the weld seam for improved fusion and reduced oxidation. Its built-in drag bar keeps the shield in position just above the workpiece without contacting the weld directly, enhancing weld quality on reactive metals like aerospace alloys.

A multi-layer stainless steel mesh diffuser paired with a titanium shower head fitting provides enhanced gas diffusion and rigidity, while the included titanium hose retention tab ensures consistent argon line alignment during welding motion. This accessory is ideal for fabricators and welders working on specialized or precision TIG welding tasks, offering a practical solution to improve shielding coverage and weld aesthetics.
