    摘要: The present application relates to a welding or metal additive manufacturing torch includes a nozzle (206) and a shielding gas diffuser (208) located within the nozzle (206). The shielding gas diffuser (208) has a plurality of shielding gas discharge holes spaced annularly around the shielding gas diffuser (208). A contact tip (210) extends from the shielding gas diffuser (208) distal of the shielding gas discharge holes. An annular screen (211) extends radially between the nozzle (206) and one or both of the contact tip (210) and the shielding gas diffuser (208) and is located distal of the shielding gas discharge holes. The annular screen (211) is electrically insulated from at least one of the shielding gas diffuser (208)and the nozzle (206).
