MIG/MAG GAS NOZZLES
MB SERIES
There are elementary differences in terms of material
selection, processing and quality. With gas nozzles
from ABICOR BINZEL, you have a wear part that
meets the existing requirements in the usual premium
quality.
Material & Properties
Special Nozzles
The basic material of a MIG/MAG gas nozzle is
usually copper alloy, sometimes pure copper is used.
Others have an additional coating of nickel, for example, to prevent adhesion or the burning in of weld
spatter from the MIG/MAG process and thus ensure
a longer service life of the shroud. In addition, the
advantage of these coatings is that weld spatter is
easier to remove again because it does not burn in
as deeply.
Some welding tasks require special solutions for
accessibility and heat dissipation. Angles that are
difficult to reach, deep gaps in thick sheets or even
extreme heat in the process are conditions that can
be improved resp. the work made easier with suitable
wear parts.
Nickel-plated
Angled
A nickel coating prevents weld spatter, which occurs in a
MIG/MAG process, from adhering easily. At the same
time, these gas nozzles with their copper body offer the advantages of copper gas nozzles. In addition, the reflective
properties of nickel keep both light and heat out and ensure
that the temperature of the welding torch remains low.
With an angled gas nozzle it is easy to weld at an angle
because you can hold the torch straight. This gas nozzle, in
combination with the suitably angled power nozzle, solves
a lot of accessibility problems and has many grateful users.
Copper
Narrow-Gap
Copper is a good conductor of heat, very resistant and easy
to work with. As a general rule, the cooler the gas nozzles,
the less spatter adhesion. Due to their very good thermal
conductivity, gas nozzles made of copper are ideally suited
for welding in all ampere ranges. In addition to gas nozzles
made of pure copper, there are also coated gas nozzles.
The narrow-gap gas nozzle is used where even with bottle-shaped ones you can’t get by. It is a specially shaped
gas nozzle for example for narrow-gap welding and single-sided through-welding of HP profiles in shipbuilding.
Plates up to a thickness of 50 mm can be welded with narrow-gap gas nozzles.

MIG/MAG
It is one of the most important equipment parts of a
MIG/MAG welding torch: the gas nozzle, often also
called shroud. The task of the gas nozzle is to allow
the shielding gas required for the welding process to
flow into the process evenly and laminar, so that a
constant shielding gas coverage of the arc and the
weld pool against the atmosphere is guaranteed.
