OVERVIEW

Optimize Your Subarc Welding

Achieve superior results in your submerged arc welding projects with the Lincoln Electric KP1962-5B1 Contact Tip. Designed for professional welders who demand reliability and precision, this contact tip is tailored for use with 7/32 inch (5.5 mm) welding wire. Submerged arc welding is a process known for its efficiency and high deposition rates, but it requires consumables that can stand up to the challenge. The KP1962-5B1 is a Severe Duty tip, meaning it is built tougher to last longer, ensuring you spend more time welding and less time troubleshooting equipment.

Built for the Heat

When you are running high amperages for extended periods, standard contact tips can overheat, soften, and fail prematurely. The KP1962-5B1 is constructed to resist thermal degradation, maintaining its hardness and shape even under extreme thermal stress. This durability translates to a more consistent arc and better control over the weld puddle. For welders working on critical joints in bridge building, shipbuilding, or heavy equipment manufacturing, this reliability is non-negotiable.

Precision and Performance

A worn contact tip can cause micro-arcing inside the tip or wandering wire placement, leading to defects that require costly rework. Lincoln Electric's manufacturing standards ensure that every KP1962-5B1 tip meets strict tolerances for bore size and concentricity. This precision facilitates smooth wire feeding and excellent electrical contact, promoting a stable arc that lays down smooth, defect-free beads. It is the ideal choice for maximizing the performance of your Lincoln Electric subarc equipment.

Value and Convenience

This product comes in a convenient 10-pack, providing excellent value for busy workshops. Having a ready supply of fresh contact tips allows for quick changeovers at the first sign of wear, ensuring that quality never dips. Upgrade your consumables to Lincoln Electric's Severe Duty line and experience the difference in longevity and arc stability.

FAQ

This contact tip is designed specifically for 7/32 inch (5.5 mm) diameter welding wire.

Severe Duty indicates that the tip is constructed from durable materials designed to withstand higher heat and amperage loads for longer periods compared to standard tips, making it ideal for intensive submerged arc welding.

The Lincoln Electric KP1962-5B1 is sold in a package of 10 contact tips.

No, this tip is specifically designed for Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) equipment and the large diameter wires associated with that process.

A high-quality contact tip ensures consistent electrical transfer to the wire. In subarc welding, poor contact can lead to arc instability and weld defects, which are critical to avoid in heavy-duty applications.

This tip is sized for 7/32" wire. While it physically fits that diameter, it is optimized for the submerged arc process. Always check your gun and liner compatibility for the specific wire type you are running.
