Trailing gas nozzles

Clean weld seams and less rework.

OSCAR PLT supports companies in the selection, procurement and integration of suitable trailing gas nozzles for welding processes.

Trailing gas nozzles guide the shielding gas specifically to the welding area and can help protect the weld seam from oxygen exposure for longer after welding. Especially with sensitive materials such as titanium, high-alloy steels or demanding component geometries, a suitable design can support process quality.

When gas shielding is not sufficient

Many welding processes are sensitive to insufficient gas coverage. Depending on the material, component geometry and process control, this can lead to quality issues.

Discoloration or oxidation on the weld seam
Increased cleaning and rework effort
Fluctuating weld seam quality
Unfavorable shielding gas use
Challenges in areas that are difficult to access

A coordinated trailing gas nozzle solution can help cover the welding area more precisely and make the process more stable.
