Tungsten Electrodes
Description
- TIG welding electrodes usually contain small quantities of metallic oxides which can offer the following benefits: -Facilitate arc starting -Increase arc stability -Improve current carrying capacity of the electrode -Reduce the risk of weld contamination -Increase electrode life
- Oxides used are primarily zirconium, thorium, lanthanum or cerium
- Additions are 1% - 4%, improve arc initiation, especially when direct current (DC) welding is employed
- Thorium oxide (thoria), effective in terms of long life and thermal efficiency
- Zirconium oxide (zirconia) has been commonly used for alternating (AC) TIG welding, welding aluminum
- Electrode length: 7"
- Each package contains 10 electrodes; 2% Ceriated:
- Excellent arc starting, stability, long life and higher-current capacity than thoriated tungsten
- Operate successfully with AC or DC current
- Non-radioactive
- Low erosion rate
- Wide current range
- No spitting;
