KP2745-116AT - Lincoln Magnum PRO 550A Aluminum Contact Tip 1/16 Tapered (10-Pack)

Keep Your Aluminum Running Smoothly

Welding aluminum is tough enough without having to fight your equipment. If you are running 1/16" aluminum wire through a Magnum® PRO gun, the Lincoln KP2745-116AT Copper Plus® contact tip is the upgrade you need to keep your arc stable and your downtime low. These tips are built heavier and thicker than standard tips, meaning they stay cooler even when you are pushing 550 amps. A cooler tip means the wire doesn't soften and stick inside the bore—a common cause of the dreaded "burn-back" that stops production and forces you to reset your liner and drive rolls.

The "Tapered" design isn't just about looks; it helps you see what you are doing. When you are trying to lay a precise bead in a tight corner, the slim profile of this tip gives you a clear view of the puddle and ensures your shielding gas gets exactly where it needs to be. Because these are designed specifically for aluminum, the bore sizing is optimized to let the wire expand slightly as it heats up without jamming, giving you that smooth, buttery feed that makes aluminum MIG welding satisfying.

No More Stuck Tips

We have all been there: you go to change a worn-out tip, and it's welded itself to the diffuser. You grab the pliers, crank on it, and end up stripping the threads or ruining the diffuser. Lincoln's Anti-Seize™ threads solve this problem. The unique thread design prevents the tip from locking up, so when it's time for a fresh tip, you can twist the old one out easily by hand or with a light touch of a tool. This pack of 10 ensures you have plenty of backups on hand, though with the extended life of Copper Plus®, you won't be reaching for a new one nearly as often.
