PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a welding torch capable of being held by a worker grasping a handle without trouble even in a case of high welding current and high use rate by suppressing transmission of arc heat of arc generated between an electrode and a base material to the handle from the electrode through a torch body. SOLUTION: The welding torch includes: a collet for supporting the electrode; a collet body for supporting the collet by contacting with it; the torch body composed of a metal member that supports the collet body by contacting with it, a metal pipe for supplying shield gas to the metal member, and an insulating member surrounding the metal member and the metal pipe; and the handle connected with the torch body. The metal member and the collet body are made of metal, and the thermal conductivity of the metal member is lower than that of the collet body. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
