CK WORLDWIDE - TIG TUNGSTENS 3/32" (RED) - T3327GT2

Ck Worldwide TIG Tungstens - T3327GT2 - 3/32" (Red)

Priced Individually

1. 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
2. Oxides used are primarily zirconium, thorium, lanthanum or cerium
3. Additions are 1% - 4%, improve arc initiation, especially when direct current (DC) welding is employed
4. Thorium oxide (thoria), effective in terms of long life and thermal efficiency
5. Zirconium oxide (zirconia) has been commonly used for alternating (AC) TIG welding, welding aluminum
6. Electrode length: 7"
7. Each package contains 10 electrodes; 2% Thoriated:
8. Good current capacity, arc stability and easy arc start on DC current
9. High resistance to weld pool contamination
10. Maintains sharpened tip configuration
11. Not normally used on AC current because it is difficult to maintain the balled end
12. Medium tendency to spit
13. Medium erosion rate
