Which of the following is not a part of the TIG welding torch?

  1. collet

  2. gas nozzle

  3. gauge

  4. tungsten electrode

The correct answer is: collet

The collet is not a part of the TIG welding torch. The collet is typically used in some types of MIG welding torches to hold the welding wire in place. In contrast, a TIG welding torch consists of components such as the gas nozzle, gauge, and tungsten electrode. The gas nozzle directs the shielding gas to protect the weld pool, the gauge is used to regulate the flow of gas, and the tungsten electrode is used to create the electric arc needed for welding.
