KP1968-3 - Lincoln Electric KP1968-3 Flux Cone Nozzle 15/16-Inch Opening

Lincoln Electric KP1968-3 Nozzle Flux Cone Overview

The Lincoln Electric KP1968-3 is a specialized Nozzle Flux Cone designed to facilitate precise flux delivery in submerged arc welding (SAW) applications. Engineered with a 15/16-inch (23.8 mm) opening, this component plays a critical role in guiding granular flux to the weld zone, ensuring adequate coverage of the molten pool. This protection is vital for preventing atmospheric contamination and achieving the mechanical properties required in heavy industrial welding.

Designed for compatibility with Lincoln Electric's robust line of submerged arc guns, the KP1968-3 is a direct fit for the K112 and K113 models. It is also compatible with Magnum® 600 MIG guns when configured for specific flux-cored or submerged arc tasks. The cone's geometry is optimized to maintain a consistent flow of flux, reducing the risk of interruptions that could lead to weld defects such as porosity or slag inclusions.

Constructed from durable materials capable of withstanding the intense radiant heat typical of high-amperage submerged arc processes, this nozzle ensures a long service life and reduced downtime for maintenance. It is an essential consumable for fabrication shops dealing with structural steel, pressure vessels, and heavy equipment manufacturing where submerged arc welding is the process of choice. Proper maintenance of the flux delivery system, including the nozzle cone, is essential for consistent weld bead profile and penetration.
