Ticon Industries 3rd Party: Tig Aesthetics Silicone Trailing Shield - #16 BBW - Flat Style
$125.00
TIG Aesthetics and Ticon Industries are eager to announce the latest Innovation in our TIG welding lineup! The TIG Aesthetics Trailing Shield. It is the Ultimate solution for welding highly reactive metals where an inert environment is required. Manufactured from high temperature silicone, the Trailing Shield withstands the heat absorbed by any #16 or 1" welding cup and will hold its structural integrity to 100+ amp welds. The Trailing Shield also includes a built in drag bar on the tail of the shield to assist in the prevention of direct heated material contact. The best application for this tool is to increase travel speed on flat sheet or plate, its compact design also allows for better control in most freehand welding applications.

Our proven, multi-layer screen diffuser combined with the shower head diffuser fitting integrate seamlessly with the silicone while providing additional rigidity to the body of the shield; providing excellent argon diffusion to the weldment. The reinforced screen diffuser allows for excellent gas coverage on flat sheet or plate materials.

User setup tips and tricks:

Included hose retention tab is designed to snap on to the back cap and align the argon inlet hose perfectly straight into the shield body, ensuring consistent results when manipulating torch angle during the weld process. (we recommend using TIG Aesthetics 6mm Argon Purge line)

Recommended gas flow for the Trailing Shield is 15-20 SCFH *dependent on weldment and environment*

Ensure a proper setup by running a test pass on some scrap material to solidify personal preference on flow and speed.

  • Silicone trailer chassis - Green x 1
  • Stainless Steel Mesh Diffuser x 1

What is Ticon Industries?

Ticon Industries is the leading manufacturer of premium quality titanium fabrication components. It was founded in 2014 as a solution to provide first-rate titanium parts for racing enthusiasts and fabricators. Before Ticon, if you needed a titanium component fabricated, you would have to buy “scrap” from an aerospace company; that is if you could even find the proper size. The problem with this option was that it also lacked the material control of what you were actually buying.

Prioritizing Precision Production

Ticon Industries has revolutionized the fabrication industry by offering top-grade parts tailored specifically for the motorsports community. All of its sheet and tubing products are made from the highest quality, commercially pure Grade 1 titanium (CP1), which is carefully monitored by Ticon from its ore state to the finished product. All tubing is precision CNC bent to prevent ovaling and wrinkling. Ticon Industries’ CP2 grade flanges cater to the majority of exhaust, intake, and intercooler piping applications and are CNC machined for a perfect fitment. These processes help guarantee the quality and consistency that consumers have come to expect from Ticon Industries. Ticon takes pride in its exceptional customer service and extensive product lineup that currently offers over 300 individual part numbers. It’s your one-stop shop for all your titanium needs.

Why Choose Ticon Industries?

There are a number of benefits in choosing Ticon Industries’ lightweight titanium products. Firstly, they are ready to weld right out of the package. Secondly, they boast consistent top-tier quality and unparalleled weight savings. There is no material waste on any of the pre-cut pieces, which saves both time and material. All parts are also constructed using CNC machining processes. Lastly, Ticon has the largest array of fabrication components in the industry, which can be used on both intakes and exhausts due to the heat characteristics of titanium.
