0468500007 - ESAB M6 x 27mm Contact Tip - 1.2mm (0.045") CuCrZr - Pack of 10

Premium Performance with ESAB CuCrZr Contact Tips

The ESAB 0468500007 Contact Tip is a high-performance consumable designed for industrial MIG welding applications requiring superior durability and electrical consistency. Manufactured from Copper Chromium Zirconium (CuCrZr), this alloy represents a significant upgrade over standard Electrolytic Copper (E-Cu) tips. The addition of chromium and zirconium creates a precipitation-hardened alloy that maintains its structural integrity and hardness at much higher temperatures—resisting softening up to approximately 500°C, compared to just 250°C for standard copper.

This specific contact tip features an M6 thread and a length of 27mm, making it compatible with a wide range of ESAB PSF series torches and other MIG guns utilizing standard European geometry. It is precision-bored to accommodate 1.2mm (0.045") welding wire. The bore tolerance is critical in automated and high-duty manual welding; the CuCrZr material resists "keyholing" (the ovalization of the tip exit due to wire wear), ensuring the arc point remains centered and stable for longer periods.

In high-amperage applications, pulsed MIG, or spray transfer modes, the thermal load on the contact tip is immense. Standard copper tips can soften, leading to micro-arcing inside the bore, burn-backs, and erratic wire feeding. The ESAB CuCrZr tip mitigates these issues by retaining its hardness, ensuring smooth current transfer and reducing the frequency of tip changes. This translates directly to reduced downtime and lower overall consumable costs for fabrication shops.
