If you are welding aluminum with an ESAB MIG gun, you know the frustration of burn-backs and erratic feeding. The ESAB 36886 Contact Tip is engineered to solve these exact problems. Designed specifically for 3/64" aluminum wire, these tips feature a special "notched" core that makes all the difference in your weld quality and frustration levels.
Why use a notched tip? Aluminum wire is soft and coated in a thin, invisible layer of oxide that doesn't conduct electricity well. A smooth tip might slide over this oxide, causing the arc to stutter or arc inside the tip itself. The notches in the ESAB 36886 tip bite gently into the wire, cutting through that oxide layer to ensure the welding current gets exactly where it needs to go. This means smoother arc starts, a consistent "hiss" while welding, and far fewer interruptions to change out a melted tip.
These tips are genuine ESAB parts, ensuring a perfect fit for your ST-23A, ST-16, MT-250, or MT-400 MIG guns. They are built with high-quality copper alloy to withstand the heat of high-amperage spray transfer welding often used with aluminum. Don't struggle with generic tips that aren't designed for the job; use the consumables engineered for the soft wire you are running.
Sold in a convenient pack of 5, these tips are a must-have for any shop fabricating aluminum trailers, boats, or components. Keep your production line moving and your welds looking professional with the right contact tips for the job.
