The collet is an essential component of a TIG torch (tungsten inert gas). It plays a crucial role in holding the tungsten electrode securely in place and ensuring the correct electrical contact during the welding process. The most important tasks and functions of the collet in a TIG torch are described below:

The collet serves as a holder for the tungsten electrode, which generates the arc during TIG welding. It clamps the electrode securely and prevents it from slipping or moving during welding. This ensures a stable and uniform arc length, which is crucial for precise and high-quality weld seams.

Electrical conductivity: The collet acts as a conductor, conducting the electrical current from the torch body to the tungsten electrode. It creates an electrical connection between the electrode and the power source so that the arc can be created and maintained during welding. The design and material of the collet ensure reliable electrical contact, minimize resistance and promote efficient current flow.

The collet is available in various sizes to accommodate different tungsten electrode diameters. It can be easily replaced or exchanged to match the specific electrode size for the welding application. The collet can also be adjusted to ensure that the electrode is held securely and firmly. This adjustability provides flexibility and versatility in TIG welding and allows the use of different electrode sizes and types.
