Maintain the efficiency and precision of your welding operations with the ESAB 37290 Contact Tip. Designed specifically for use with ESAB MT series MIG guns, this contact tip is engineered to handle 0.045-inch (1.2mm) welding wire. The contact tip is one of the most critical components in the MIG welding process, serving as the final point of electrical transfer to the electrode wire. Using genuine ESAB parts ensures that this transfer remains stable, reducing the risk of micro-arcing within the bore which can lead to erratic wire feeding and poor weld quality.
These tips are manufactured from high-quality copper alloy, chosen for its excellent thermal and electrical conductivity. This material composition helps dissipate heat effectively, preventing the tip from softening or deforming under high-amperage conditions. A precise bore diameter ensures that the wire feeds smoothly without excessive drag or wandering, which is essential for maintaining accurate bead placement in both manual and automated applications. Whether you are welding mild steel, stainless steel, or aluminum, the integrity of your contact tip directly influences the stability of your arc.
Sold in a convenient pack of five, the ESAB 37290 ensures you have replacements on hand when you need them. Regular inspection and replacement of contact tips are best practices that prevent production delays. Signs of wear such as keyholing (elongation of the exit hole) or burnback are clear indicators that a change is needed. By choosing OEM ESAB consumables, you guarantee a perfect fit for your MT series equipment, preserving the longevity of your torch and diffuser assembly.
