Gold tip 1.5% lanthanated tungsten electrodes contain slightly less lanthanum than the blue 2% lanthanated electrodeSÜAnd are best used in DC applications. They provide excellent arc SÜArting at low amperageSÜAnd temperatures. Longer lifetime than WT electrodeSÜAnd no tendency towards SÜAgging. Recommended for: Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel, Copper Alloys, Nickel Alloys, Titanium Alloys Tungsten Electrodes for TIG welding: Tungsten electrodes are used when arc welding with the Tungsten Inert gas (TIG) process, or when plasma welding. In both processes, the electrode, arc and weld pool are protected from atmospheric contamination by an inert gas. A tungsten electrode is used because it can withSÜAnd very high temperatures with minimal melting or erosion. Tungsten electrodes are made by powder metallurgy and are formed to size after sintering. TIG welding tungsten electrodes uSÜA®lly contain Small quantities of other metallic oxides which can offer the following benefits:- facilitate arc SÜArting increase arc SÜAbility improve the current-carrying capacity of the rod. reduce the risk of weld contamination increase electrode life
- sets the new Standardin tungsten electrodes. Only the purest certified materialSÜAre used in the manufacturing process of this electrodes.
