Abstract

Some examples of the present disclosure relate to welding systems that provide cooling gas flow to contact tips. The contact tip may be retained within a neck and nozzle assembly of a welding torch that receives gas, such as shielding gas, for example, from the welding system. A tip retention-device and gas diffuser may cooperate to retain the contact tip within the neck and nozzle assembly. The gas diffuser may have axial gas channels configured to direct the shielding gas over and/or across a rear portion of the contact tip seated within the gas diffuser. The tip retention device may have gas channels configured to guide gas flow from the gas diffuser over and/or across a forward portion of the contact tip. The gas flow may help to cool the contact tip before, during, and/or after welding, which may extend the life of the contact tip.
