2.4mm x 150mm Red Tungsten 2% Th Thoriated DC Tig Welding Electrode

Sale Multiple  - 1 rod

These electrodes offer good arc starts and provide a higher current-carrying capacity than many other types. 2% thoriated tungsten also operates far below its melting temperature, which results in a considerably lower rate of consumption, minimizes arc wandering and lessens instances of weld contamination.

During manufacturing, thorium is evenly dispersed throughout the electrode. This evenness allows the electrode to maintain a sharpened edge — the ideal electrode shape for welding thin steel. Sharpening the electrode’s point, however, should be done with great care. Thoriated tungsten contains low levels of radioactivity. Therefore, operators must always follow manufacture’s warnings, instructions, and the MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) for its use.
