KP1962-5B1 - Lincoln Electric 7/32 Inch Severe Duty Subarc Contact Tips (10-Pack)

Heavy-Duty Submerged Arc Performance

The Lincoln Electric KP1962-5B1 Contact Tip is a premium consumable designed to meet the rigorous demands of submerged arc welding (SAW). Engineered for industrial environments where high deposition rates and continuous operation are standard, this contact tip is built to handle the intense heat and electrical current associated with heavy fabrication. Specifically sized for 7/32 inch (5.5 mm) wire, it ensures precise wire feeding and optimal electrical transfer, which are critical for maintaining weld integrity in structural and pressure vessel applications.

Severe Duty Durability

Labeled as "Severe Duty," this contact tip is manufactured from high-grade copper alloys that resist annealing and wear better than standard tips. In submerged arc welding, the contact tip is often subjected to prolonged periods of high amperage. The KP1962-5B1 is designed to withstand these conditions, resisting the "keyholing" effect that can lead to erratic arcs and poor bead placement. By maintaining its dimensional accuracy over a longer service life, this tip helps reduce the frequency of consumable changes, thereby increasing overall productivity on the shop floor.

Reliable Electrical Conductivity

Consistent current transfer is the hallmark of a quality contact tip. The Lincoln KP1962-5B1 features a precision-machined bore that maximizes the contact area with the welding wire. This ensures a stable arc and uniform heat input, which is essential for the deep penetration and high-quality welds expected in submerged arc processes. Whether welding thick plate steel or fabricating large diameter pipe, operators can rely on this tip to deliver steady performance.

Convenient Packaging

Supplied in a pack of 10, the KP1962-5B1 ensures that your welding stations remain stocked and ready for operation. Keeping a healthy inventory of these essential consumables minimizes unexpected downtime and supports efficient workflow management in high-volume production settings. Trust Lincoln Electric's legacy of quality to keep your subarc operations running smoothly.
