Trail Shields & Flooding Cups

Precision Gas Coverage for Cleaner Welds and Lower Gas Use

Knowing how to protect the weld zone after the arc is critical when welding materials that react with oxygen. Trail shields and flooding cups help extend shielding gas coverage, reducing oxidation and supporting higher-quality welds.

This category includes precision TIG and PAW trail shields and flooding cups engineered to create a smooth, consistent flow of shielding gas. By displacing atmosphere with a controlled gas envelope, these tools help improve weld appearance, consistency, and overall weld quality.

Trail shields and flooding cups are especially effective for demanding TIG/GTAW and PAW applications. They are designed to lower gas usage while maintaining proper coverage, making them a smart choice for both quality-focused and cost-conscious welding operations.

Designed for reactive and non-reactive metals

These gas coverage tools are commonly used when welding reactive metals such as titanium, molybdenum, nickel-based alloys, and aluminum alloys. They are also effective on stainless steel and other non-reactive materials where clean welds and consistent results are required.

How trail shields and flooding cups improve welding results

  • Extend shielding gas coverage beyond the weld puddle
  • Reduce oxidation and discoloration on sensitive materials
  • Improve weld consistency and surface finish
  • Help lower overall shielding gas consumption

Achieve cleaner welds, better gas efficiency, and consistent results with trail shields and flooding cups trusted by the pros.
