The Lincoln Electric KP3162-2B1 Contact Tip is a premium consumable engineered specifically for the rigorous demands of Submerged Arc Welding (SAW). Designed to accommodate 3/16-inch (4.8 mm) wire, this tip features Lincoln's "Extended Life" technology, which utilizes advanced materials and manufacturing processes to resist the high heat and abrasive wear typical of heavy industrial welding environments. By maintaining bore integrity over longer periods, these tips ensure consistent electrical transfer and arc stability, which are critical for achieving high-quality weld deposits in structural and pressure vessel fabrication.
In automated and semi-automated Subarc setups, downtime for consumable replacement can significantly impact throughput. The KP3162-2B1 addresses this by offering a longer service life than standard copper tips, allowing for extended continuous welding runs. This 10-pack ensures that maintenance teams have the necessary inventory to support high-volume production schedules without interruption. As a genuine Lincoln Electric OEM part, it guarantees precise fitment and optimal performance with compatible Lincoln SAW torches and wire delivery systems.
