Tigama 36 & 500 Contact Tips CUCRZR

Copper-chrome-zirconium contact tips are generally is used in automated and robotic welding applications where precise TCP is needed and high duty cycles occur. Although there is some decline in electrical conductivity compared with the standard copper tip, it is sufficient for most steel applications. However, since CuCrZr alloy softens at a much higher temperature, it tends to have a longer life span than standard copper tips. Generally speaking these contact tips maintain its shape up to approximately 932 degrees F versus 500 degrees for E-Cu, therefore, the higher-density material leads to a lower wear rate and increases the tip’s performance and productivity.
