The ESAB 0561006174 Contact Tip is a specialized consumable designed for high-amperage MIG/MAG and Flux-Cored Arc Welding (FCAW) applications. Engineered with a robust M8 thread and a standard length of 37mm, this contact tip is precision-manufactured to accommodate 2.5mm cored wires. In heavy industrial environments, the integrity of the electrical contact between the power source and the welding wire is critical for maintaining arc stability and weld quality. This tip features a specific bore tolerance (marked as 10898 reference) that allows for the smooth passage of cored wires, which often have slightly different feeding characteristics compared to solid wires.
Manufactured from high-quality copper alloy, these contact tips offer excellent thermal conductivity and electrical transfer efficiency. The material composition is selected to withstand the high heat inputs associated with welding large diameter wires, resisting softening and deformation better than standard copper tips. This durability translates to reduced downtime for tip changes and more consistent welding parameters over the life of the consumable. The M8 thread ensures a tight, conductive connection to the gas diffuser or tip holder, minimizing resistance and preventing overheating at the threaded joint.
This product is supplied in a pack of 25, making it an economical choice for workshops with high-volume welding operations. Whether used in shipbuilding, structural steel fabrication, or heavy equipment manufacturing, the ESAB 0561006174 ensures that your welding equipment performs at its peak. Proper tip selection is vital for preventing micro-arcing inside the bore, which can lead to premature failure and erratic wire feeding. By choosing genuine ESAB consumables, operators ensure compatibility and performance reliability.
