CK TC-3S Premium Trailing Shield

Protect your welds. Eliminate oxidation. Weld exotic metals with confidence.
The TC-3S Premium Trailing Shield is designed for professional welders working with reactive and exotic metals like Titanium and Inconel. By extending inert gas coverage behind the torch, it protects the cooling weld bead and heat-affected zone from oxidation and contamination.

Built for high-quality TIG welding applications, the TC-3S helps improve weld appearance, integrity, and consistency—especially on critical welds where shielding gas coverage matters most.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a trailing shield do?
It extends inert gas coverage behind the torch to protect the weld as it cools.

Why is this important for Titanium and Inconel?
These materials are highly sensitive to oxygen contamination at elevated temperatures.

Does this include the gas hose?
Yes. A 12.5' (3.8M) argon hose is included.

Can this improve weld appearance?
Yes. Proper shielding helps reduce oxidation and discoloration for cleaner-looking welds.
