M1436 - Miller Phosphor Bronze Liner for .030-1/16 Aluminum Wire

Miller M1436 Phosphor Bronze Liner for Aluminum Welding

The Miller M1436 is a specialized MIG gun liner designed to optimize the feeding of soft welding wires, particularly aluminum. Manufactured from high-grade phosphor bronze, this liner offers a low-friction path that is essential for pushing soft alloys through the MIG gun cable assembly without deformation or shaving. Unlike coiled steel liners which can act like a file against soft aluminum, the smooth surface of the phosphor bronze ensures the integrity of the wire surface is maintained from the feeder to the contact tip.

This liner is engineered to accommodate a wire diameter range of .030 inches to 1/16 inches, making it versatile for various aluminum welding applications. It is a genuine Miller Electric component, ensuring perfect fitment and compatibility with specific Miller heavy-duty MIG guns and push-pull systems. Proper liner selection is a critical factor in achieving high-quality aluminum welds, as poor feeding is the leading cause of burn-backs and erratic arcs. The M1436 addresses these challenges directly by providing the mechanical properties needed for reliable wire delivery.

Industrial environments demand durability, and the heavy-duty construction of this liner withstands the rigors of daily use. It is an essential consumable for fabrication shops working with aluminum structures, automotive components, or marine vessels. Regular inspection and replacement of the liner are recommended to maintain peak performance, especially when switching between different wire types or after extended periods of heavy use.
