This is especially useful when welding in tight corners or awkward positions where an opaque ceramic cup would block the view.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuperior Heat Resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Quartz can withstand much higher temperatures and thermal shock than standard alumina (ceramic) or borosilicate glass. This makes them ideal for high-amperage applications, such as welding aluminum or exotic metals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImproved Gas Coverage:\u003c\/strong\u003e These cups are typically designed for use with a gas lens. This setup creates a wider, more stable laminar flow of shielding gas, which reduces turbulence and allows for longer tungsten \"stick-out\" to reach deep into joints.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncreased Lighting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unlike opaque cups, clear quartz acts almost like a light bulb, allowing the light from the arc to illuminate the surrounding weld path, making it easier to follow the joint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe main choice between the two kits comes down to the application: the small kit for tight access and precision, and the large kit for better gas coverage on wider welds and general fabrication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKit Components\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBoth the small and large kits from Top Gun contain the same type of components, but sized appropriately for the respective cup dimensions:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1x Champagne clear quartz nozzle (specific size)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1x Wedge collet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1x Gas lens collet body (sized for 1.6mm tungsten, but specific to the small or large cup setup)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2x Spare sealing O-rings\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1x Screen pack with adapter \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TOP-GUN","offers":[{"title":"SMALL 1.6MM","offer_id":46544104816834,"sku":"TIQC16SKIT","price":37.7,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"SMALL 2.4MM","offer_id":46544104849602,"sku":"TIQC24SKIT","price":37.7,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"LARGE 1.6MM","offer_id":46544104882370,"sku":"TIQC16LKIT","price":43.48,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"LARGE 2.4MM","offer_id":46544104915138,"sku":"TIQC25KIT","price":46.6,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/6335\/8914\/files\/Quarts_Small_1024x1024_5180e581-c390-4844-8155-b35f10df77dd.png?v=1767579112","url":"https:\/\/www.srbindustrialsupplies.com\/products\/tig-q-cup-kits","provider":"SRB INDUSTRIAL SUPPLIES","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
