OVERVIEW

Reliable Performance for Professional Welders

Every welder knows the frustration of a contact tip that fails halfway through a shift. The arc starts to wander, the wire starts to stick, and suddenly you are grinding out a bad weld because your tip wore out prematurely. The American Weldquip HRT Contact Tip (.045" / .393" OD) is built to solve exactly that problem. Designed for serious fabrication work, these tips are made from a special Heat Resistant Technology (HRT) alloy that stands up to the intense heat of the welding arc without getting soft.

When you are running .045 wire, especially at higher amperages, standard tips can overheat and the hole at the end opens up. This "keyholing" ruins your aim and makes the arc sputter. American Weldquip's HRT tips stay hard and keep their shape, giving you a smooth, consistent arc hour after hour. This means you spend less time walking back to the tool crib for fresh tips and more time laying down beads. They are a direct fit for your American Weldquip MIG gun, making them an easy upgrade for your daily setup.

This pack contains 25 contact tips, ensuring you have plenty of stock for the job ahead. Whether you are welding structural steel, heavy equipment, or precision parts, the stability provided by the HRT alloy helps you produce cleaner welds with less spatter and fewer interruptions. Trust the consumables that are built to work as hard as you do.

FAQ

This contact tip is precision-machined for .045 inch (1.2 mm) welding wire.

HRT stands for Heat Resistant Technology. It refers to the proprietary alloy used in these tips that maintains hardness at high temperatures.

The outside diameter (OD) of this contact tip is .393 inches.

This product (SKU 20045500-25) is sold as a package of 25 contact tips.

No, these are designed specifically for American Weldquip MIG guns and consumable systems. Please check your gun's parts list for compatibility.

Standard copper softens when it gets hot, leading to rapid wear. HRT alloy stays hard at welding temperatures, preventing keyholing and extending the life of the tip.

Yes, as long as the wire diameter is .045 inches and your gun is set up for the process, these tips can handle the current required for flux-cored welding.
