A stop on the nozzle engages the nozzle retaining cup insert when the front end assembly is removed from the torch so the nozzle does not remain in the torch. The shield engages an insulator, which engages the nozzle, to limit forward axial movement of the nozzle.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 12, 2013Publication date: May 14, 2015Applicant: The ESAB Group, Inc.Inventor: Wayne Stanley Severance, JR.

Publication number: 20150129564Abstract: A method of brazing including melting a surface region (26) of a substrate (12, 14, 22) and contacting a braze material (10) with the melted surface region, the braze material including a plurality of braze fillers (16) and a plurality of carbon structures (18). The method further includes subjecting the braze material to an amount of energy effective to melt the braze fillers but not the carbon structures, and cooling the braze material to form a brazement (28, 32) including the carbon structures within at least a portion of the substrate. The brazement includes a gradient (30) of the carbon structures, wherein a concentration of the carbon structures increases in a direction away from an interior of the substrate.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 11, 2013Publication date: May 14, 2015Inventors: Kai Kadau, Michael Clossen-von Lanken Schulz
