ABSTRACT:
A welding wire gun operable in the high temperature environment of a high current density welding system. The welding gun includes a tubular member through which welding wire and shielding gas are adapted to pass. A gas diffuser member is mounted upon one end of the tubular member and, in turn, supports a welding tip therein such that the end of the welding tip projects beyond the diffuser in the direction of the joint to be welded. Additionally, the welding gun is constructed to provide for flowing of a coolant material around the tubular member proximate the diffuser member for maintaining the welding tip below its melting or distortion temperature. A tubular nozzle member is supported at one end from the diffuser member and extends beyond both the diffuser member and the welding tip in such a way as to define an annular shielding gas chamber about the diffuser and welding tip. Gas passages formed through the diffuser communicate with the annular gas chamber and are angularly oriented with the central axis of the diffuser and welding tip so as to maximize the velocity and minimize turbulence of the gas flow through the gun to thereby maintain a high energy shielding gas envelope around the welding wire and weld puddle.
