Abstract:
A consumable assembly for use in an arc welding apparatus is provided that includes a nozzle assembly having a nozzle body, an insulator disposed within the nozzle body, and a nozzle insert disposed within the insulator. The nozzle insert includes an internal gas diverter. A contact tip is disposed within the nozzle assembly and includes at least one aperture extending from an exterior portion to an internal cavity, an exit orifice, a distal end face, and an exterior surface extending between the at least one aperture and the distal end portion of the contact tip. The internal gas diverter directs a flow of shield gas exiting the at least one aperture along the exterior surface of the contact tip.

Claim (Index 17):
An arc welding apparatus comprising:\n a handle; a conductor tube attached to the handle; a welding cable that carries welding current, shield gas, and a welding wire from a power source, the welding cable being connected to the handle; and a nozzle assembly attached to the conductor tube and configured to secure a contact tip to the conductor tube, the nozzle assembly comprising:\n a nozzle body having a distal opening and an opposite proximal opening, \n an insulator disposed within the nozzle body, and \n a nozzle insert disposed within the insulator, the nozzle insert defining a longitudinal axis and having a proximal end portion, a distal end portion, and a central bore extending from the proximal end portion towards the distal end portion, the insert further comprising:\n an internal gas diverter disposed proximate to the distal end portion of the nozzle insert, the internal gas diverter defining a seating surface facing toward the proximal end portion and a profiled diverter orifice, wherein the profiled diverter orifice is defined by a surface facing toward the distal end portion of the body, the surface extending radially outward from the longitudinal axis along a length of the surface toward the distal end portion, the length of the surface extending distally from the central bore to the distal end portion.
