Contact Tip M6 1,2MM Mig Welding

The M6 1.2mm Contact Tip is a high-performance welding consumable engineered for the South African structural steel, heavy engineering, and agricultural sectors. Manufactured from high-purity electrolytic copper (E-Cu), it is the primary choice for professional welders using 1.2mm solid or flux-cored wires. This tip is precision-machined to ensure optimal electrical conductivity and a smooth, "stutter-free" wire feed, which is critical for maintaining arc stability and reducing spatter in high-duty cycle industrial environments.

Key Performance Features

• High-Purity Electrolytic Copper (E-Cu): Forged from premium copper to provide maximum thermal and electrical conductivity, significantly reducing the risk of the wire "welding" to the tip (burn-back).
• Precision-Bored 1.2mm Orifice: Features a strictly controlled internal diameter that allows for slight thermal expansion of the wire while maintaining 100% electrical contact for a stable arc.
• Standard M6 Threading: Engineered with the industry-standard 6mm thread, ensuring 100% compatibility with MB15, MB24, and MB25 MIG torches commonly used across South Africa.
• Tapered "Low-Spatter" Profile: The external geometry is designed to minimize the accumulation of molten spatter, extending the life of the tip and the surrounding gas shroud.

Ideal Applications

• Heavy Structural Steelwork: The industry standard for welding thick-walled I-beams, trusses, and warehouse frames using 1.2mm wire.
• Agricultural Equipment Manufacturing: Perfect for high-volume production of multi-row ploughs, heavy-duty trailers, and irrigation components.
• Earthmoving & Mining Repair: Ideal for the high-amperage hard-facing and structural repair of excavator buckets and industrial machinery.
• Heavy-Duty General Fabrication: A reliable "workhorse" for workshops building industrial carports, security gates, and heavy transport trailers.

Product Benefits

• Eliminates Arc Fluctuations: By providing a consistent electrical transfer point, this tip prevents the "flickering" arc that causes weld porosity.
• Reduces Wire-Feed Resistance: The polished internal bore minimizes friction, protecting your wire-feeder motor from excessive strain and ensuring a smooth weld bead.
• Cost-Effective Service Life: Built to withstand the intense radiant heat of 250A to 350A welding, offering a longer operational life before requiring replacement.

Pro Tip: For the best results when welding with 1.2mm wire, always ensure your MIG Anti-Spatter Spray or Gel is applied to the tip and the nozzle. If you notice the wire "hunting" or sticking, check the tip for internal wear (ovalization); a worn tip is the #1 cause of poor arc starting. Maintenance Note: Always tighten the tip firmly with a spanner or MIG pliers; a hand-tightened tip creates electrical resistance and will eventually cause the gas diffuser to melt.
