WS Alu Gas Drags (Trailing Shields)

The WS Gas Drags or also known as Trailing Shields provide supplementary inert gas shielding when welding exotic or reactive metals to prevent oxidization and eliminate discoloration. They allow welds to be produced faster and with a bright shiny finish.

The main reason for their use is often the hot area behind the weld is often ignored and this can lead to a bad weld especially larger pipes and thicker materials. A gas drag or trailing shield will purge the hot area with an inert shielding gas long enough for the weld to cool.

The inside of a Gas Drag is manufactured with a layer of mesh so that the shielding gas is dispersed widely & evenly over the surface being welded avoiding turbulence and preventing oxygen to enter from the outside.

WS Gas Drags are available in a flat “sheetmetal” version or curved to suit different pipe diameters.

Suitable for use in TIG/MIG manual or automatic welding torches.
