ABSTRACT:
A convergent nozzle assembly (10) includes a generally cylindrically-shaped nozzle (52) engaged over a diffuser (40) extending forwardly from the gooseneck (26) of a hand piece (22) of a continuous wire electrode (14), inert gas shielded arc welding unit (12). The nozzle (52) also extends over an electrically conductive tip (35) extending forwardly from the diffuser (40). The interior of the nozzle (52), being of a larger diameter than the exterior of the diffuser (40), defines an air or gas collection cavity (51) therebetween to receive pressurized air or gases through cross holes (50) to intersect the central bore (48) of the diffuser (40) with the collection cavity (51). A plurality of passageways (64) direct the pressurized air or gas from the collection cavity (51) forwardly to discharge such air or gas forwardly from the nozzle assembly (10) to converge with each other at approximately the location at which the endless wire electrode (14) intersects the workpiece being cut or gouged.
