Welding aluminum presents a unique set of challenges compared to steel, primarily due to the softness of the wire. Standard steel liners are often wound steel spirals which can shave off micro-particles of aluminum, leading to clogged liners, erratic feeding, and the dreaded "bird-nesting" at the drive rolls. The ESAB PSF Liner Alum 1.2mm 3M (0366550886) is the solution designed to eliminate these headaches. Engineered specifically for use with ESAB PSF series MIG guns, this liner provides a low-friction path that protects the integrity of your aluminum wire from the feeder to the contact tip.
This specific liner is sized for 1.2mm (0.045") aluminum wire and is cut to a length of 3 meters (approximately 10 feet), matching standard PSF torch cable lengths. Using the correct liner diameter is critical; a liner that is too large allows the wire to buckle inside, while one that is too tight causes excessive drag. ESAB has precision-engineered this component to offer the perfect tolerance for 1.2mm wire, ensuring that your wire feed speed remains constant and your arc stays stable.
At Josef Gas, we understand that downtime costs money. When you are fabricating aluminum, whether for automotive, marine, or general repair, you cannot afford to stop every ten minutes to clear a jammed gun. By installing a fresh, genuine ESAB aluminum liner, you ensure that your equipment performs as intended. This liner is made from high-quality, low-friction materials that allow the soft wire to glide smoothly, significantly improving the quality of your welds and the efficiency of your operation.
Installation is straightforward for users of the PSF system. Simply remove the old liner, inspect your gun for any debris, and insert the new aluminum-specific liner. Remember to keep your torch cable as straight as possible during welding to further assist with feeding. Trust genuine ESAB parts from Josef Gas to keep your production line moving.
