0468500010 - ESAB PSF M6 Contact Tip 1.6mm CuCrZr (Pack of 10)

High-Performance ESAB Contact Tips for Demanding Applications

Optimize your welding operations with the ESAB PSF M6 Contact Tip, specifically engineered for 1.6mm (1/16") welding wire. This pack of 10 premium consumables is designed to meet the rigorous demands of industrial fabrication. The internal SKU for this product is 0468500010. These tips are a critical component for maintaining arc stability and ensuring consistent weld quality in your MIG welding setup.

What sets these tips apart is their construction. Unlike standard electrolytic copper (E-Cu) tips, these are manufactured from CuCrZr (Copper Chromium Zirconium). This advanced alloy offers superior hardness and high-temperature resistance. In welding environments where mixed gases (Argon/CO2) are used, or during pulsed MIG welding, temperatures at the contact point can soar. Standard copper softens under this heat, leading to rapid wear and "keyholing" (where the bore becomes oval). The CuCrZr material retains its structural integrity at higher temperatures, ensuring the wire contact remains consistent for much longer periods.

These tips feature a standard M6 thread and a length of approximately 27mm, making them a direct replacement for the standard tips found in the renowned ESAB PSF series of MIG torches (such as the PSF 250, 305, 405, and 505). Proper contact tip selection is vital for electrical conductivity; a worn tip can cause micro-arcing inside the bore, leading to erratic wire feeding and burn-backs. By choosing these high-grade ESAB tips, you ensure efficient current transfer to the wire, resulting in a smoother arc and reduced spatter.

Whether you are welding heavy structural steel or performing high-duty cycle manufacturing, these 1.6mm tips provide the reliability professional welders expect from ESAB. The 10-pack packaging ensures you have ample stock on hand to minimize downtime during production runs.
