OVERVIEW

Genuine Miller Performance for Aluminum MIG

Achieve superior arc stability and wire feeding with the Miller 223018 FasTip Contact Tips, specifically engineered for .040" and .045" aluminum welding wire. Aluminum welding presents unique challenges, including wire softness and high thermal expansion. Using the wrong contact tip can lead to frustrating burnbacks, erratic arcs, and feeding issues. These genuine Miller tips are manufactured with precise tolerances that accommodate the expansion of aluminum wire as it heats up, ensuring consistent feeding and high-quality welds every time you pull the trigger.

The FasTip design is a favorite among professional welders for its ease of use. Unlike traditional threaded tips that can seize or cross-thread, the FasTip locks into place with a simple twist, allowing for rapid changeovers on the job site. This package contains 10 contact tips, ensuring you have plenty of spares on hand for long production runs or critical repair jobs.

Designed for Spoolmatic and XR Systems

Whether you are fabricating aluminum trailers, repairing boat hulls, or working on signage, these tips are the perfect match for your equipment. They are designed to fit Miller Spoolmatic 15A and 30A spool guns, XR Push-Pull guns, and Roughneck C Series MIG guns. By using genuine Miller consumables, you protect your equipment and ensure that your welding parameters remain consistent. Don't let poor-quality consumables compromise your aluminum welds; stick with the tips designed by the manufacturer for optimal performance.

FAQ

This tip is designed for .040" and .045" aluminum welding wires.

While physically possible, these tips are optimized for aluminum with slightly larger bore tolerances to account for heat expansion. It is recommended to use standard tips for steel to ensure optimal electrical contact.

These fit Miller Roughneck C Series, Spoolmatic 15A & 30A, and XR Push-Pull guns.

The Miller 223018 comes in a package of 10 contact tips.

The outside diameter (OD) is 0.312 inches.

Yes, it uses the Miller FasTip design which features a quick-lock thread for fast replacement.

Aluminum expands more than steel when hot. Aluminum-specific tips have slightly larger bore tolerances to prevent the wire from seizing inside the tip during welding.

No, the M-25 typically uses standard Miller contact tips, not the FasTip style found on Roughneck and Spoolmatic guns. Always check your gun's manual.
