OVERVIEW

Smoother Aluminum Welding with Velocity

If you weld aluminum, you know the struggle: burnbacks, birdnests, and erratic feeding can turn a simple job into a nightmare. The Tweco Velocity VTS-A364 Contact Tip is designed to solve these headaches for welders using Tweco Fusion MIG guns. Specifically sized for 3/64" aluminum wire, this tip isn't just a standard steel tip with a different label. It is engineered with the right internal clearance to let aluminum wire expand as it gets hot, without seizing up inside the tip. This means you get a smoother, more consistent wire feed, which translates directly to better-looking beads and less frustration.

The standout feature of the Velocity series is the threadless, drop-in design. We've all been there—trying to unscrew a fused contact tip with a pair of pliers, stripping threads, or cross-threading a new one when you're in a rush. With the VTS-A364, those days are over. You simply pull the nozzle off, drop the old tip out, and drop the new one in. The nozzle itself locks the tip in place. It’s fast, it’s tool-free, and it gets you back under the hood in seconds. This is perfect for high-paced shops or field work where efficiency is key.

Beyond the ease of use, these tips run cooler. Because they seat firmly without threads, they transfer electricity better and shed heat faster. A cooler tip means less spatter sticking to the front end and a longer life for the consumable. Whether you are fabricating aluminum trailers, repairing boat hulls, or working on custom automotive parts, switching to the VTS-A364 tips in your Fusion gun will make your aluminum MIG welding process more reliable. Don't let equipment issues hold back your craftsmanship; use the tips designed to handle the unique properties of aluminum.

FAQ

The VTS-A364 is precision-machined for 3/64 inch (1.2mm) welding wire.

While it is physically possible, it is not recommended. The 'A' series has bore tolerances optimized for aluminum's expansion rates. Using it for steel might result in poor electrical contact and an unstable arc.

This tip fits Tweco Fusion™ MIG guns and any other Tweco gun that has been retrofitted with the Velocity™ consumable front-end parts.

The tip has a tapered base that drops into the gas diffuser. It is held securely in place by the nozzle, which creates a solid electrical and mechanical connection without the need for threads.

The 'A' stands for Aluminum. These tips feature a slightly larger or specifically tapered internal bore to prevent the soft aluminum wire from binding or seizing as it expands due to heat.

No, the Velocity system is designed to be tool-free. You can typically remove the nozzle and tip by hand, though pliers might be needed if the tip is extremely hot or spatter-covered.

Yes. By running cooler and having the correct tolerance for aluminum, the wire feeds more consistently, significantly reducing the chance of the wire burning back and fusing to the tip.

The VTS-A364 is manufactured from high-grade copper to ensure maximum electrical conductivity and thermal transfer.
