KP2744-116AT5356 - Lincoln Magnum PRO Copper Plus Tip 1/16 Aluminum Tapered (10-Pack)

Maximize Aluminum Welding Performance with Magnum PRO Copper Plus

Welding aluminum presents unique challenges compared to steel, particularly regarding heat management and wire feedability. The Lincoln Electric KP2744-116AT5356 Copper Plus Contact Tip is your solution for smoother, more reliable aluminum MIG welding. Designed specifically for 1/16-inch (1.6 mm) 5356 aluminum wire, these tips are built to handle the demands of the job. If you are running a Magnum PRO gun, upgrading to Copper Plus tips can significantly improve your arc stability and reduce the frustration of burn-backs.

The secret lies in the "Copper Plus" design. These tips are physically larger than standard tips, packing more copper into the consumable. This extra mass acts as a superior heat sink, pulling heat away from the wire and the arc zone. Because aluminum wire expands rapidly when heated, keeping the tip cool is crucial to prevent the wire from dragging or seizing inside the bore. The result is a consistent arc and less downtime spent changing out fried tips. The tapered shape of this specific model (KP2744-116AT5356) also gives you better visibility of the puddle and allows you to get the nozzle closer into tight corners or V-grooves without sacrificing gas coverage.

One of the biggest headaches in MIG welding is a contact tip that fuses to the diffuser after a long, hot weld. Lincoln Electric has solved this with their anti-seize threading. Even after running at 350 amps, these tips will unscrew easily, saving your diffuser and saving you time. Whether you are fabricating boat hulls, repairing trailers, or working on general aluminum structures, these tips provide the reliability professional welders need. Sold in convenient packs of 10, they ensure you have plenty of spares on hand to keep your production line moving without interruption.
