He&#8217;s taken the lead in making sure we offer all the high tech trail shields and gas purging cups for TIG and Plasma Arc Welding applications.<\/p>\n<h3>Trailing in the Fourth Quarter<\/h3>\n<p>When a sports team is trailing in the fourth quarter, they put they best players in to bring it home. Welding is no different. When welders need the absolute best weld and gas coverage, they go to their best equipment. And for the best purge gas coverage, welders utilize high-tech trailing shields and purging cups.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/carmenelectrode\/images\/trailing_shields.jpg\" alt=\"TIG and PAW Trailing Shields\" hspace=\"10\/\" vspace=\"10\" align=\"right\" \/>Many TIG and Plasma Arc Welding applications require specific gas coverage and Arc-Zone.com understands the importance of the strength of the weld and how poor gas coverage can lead to poor weld quality. To correct the helm, Arc-Zone.com redesigned an entire section dedicated to gas Purging Cups, Standard and Extra-Long Straight Trailing Shields and Multi-Diameter Curved Shields.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to maximizing shield gas coverage, these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arc-zone.com\/index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=10_235\">high-tech trailing shields<\/a> lower gas usage and ensure weld strength. Designed for the most popular TIG (GTAW) and Plasma (PAW) torches, the cups and trail shields come ready to install on your torch.<\/p>\n<p>Arc-Zone also offers a full line of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arc-zone.com\/index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=10_235\">welding accessories to adapt the trailing shields and cups<\/a> to multiple tungsten sizes to help keep your equipment efficient. So now when you need 4+ inches of trailing shield gas for your 17 series TIG torch or cylindrical coverage for your 3 inch pipe with your 22 series mounted TIG torch&#8230; and you need to triumph over the competition by having the best weld, you know who\u2019s got you covered.<\/p>\n<p>EDITOR&#8217;S NOTE: If you need more info on any of these trailing shields, give our sales team \u00a0a call.
