Why Choose Coated Contact Tips?
- Longer service life: Coating reduces thermal load and spatter adhesion, extending tip life and minimizing changeovers.
- Improved process stability: Insulates against short circuits and unwanted arcs for consistent welding results.
- Lower overall costs: Fewer consumable replacements and reduced rework save time and money.
Optimized for Precision Welding
Coated contact tips are especially beneficial in narrow gap welding — such as pipeline construction — where tight tolerances and deep joints increase the risk of unintended shorting and weld defects.
Advanced Coating Technology
ABICOR BINZEL offers multiple ceramic coating options for different welding needs:
- Boron nitride (BN): Excellent spatter protection, cost-efficient choice.
- Aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃): Highest resistance against thermal shock and heat.
- Aluminum titanium oxide (Al₂O₃ + TiO₂): Best durability and protection against copper inclusion.
Available in Multiple Shapes & Sizes
To suit your application, we offer a range of tip geometries (conical, cylindrical, tapered, sword-shaped) as well as thread types and wire diameters — ensuring the right fit for your orbital welding equipment.
Ideal for These Applications
- Pipeline welding (onshore & offshore)
- High-temperature welding processes
- Automated and semi-automated orbital welding systems
- Industrial fabrication environments where reliability and uptime matter most
