.020 x 7" |
2% thoriated tungsten contain
a nominal 2 wt-% or thorium oxide (ThO2) that
is evenly dispersed throughout the entire length of the
tungsten. The most common type of electrode used today.
Provides excellent resistance from weld pool contamination
while at the same time offers the welder easier arc
starting capabilities and a more stable arc. Generally
used for DC electrode negative or straight polarity
applications such as carbon & stainless steels, nickel
alloys and titanium. |

| Pure |
Green |
.020 x 7" |
Pure tungsten contain a
minimum of 99.5 wt-% tungsten with no other alloying
elements. This allows the tip to form a clean, balled end
which provides good arc stability on AC. Pure can be used
with DC but does not compare with thoriated or ceriated as
far as ease of arc starting. More susceptible to weld
contamination than thoriated, ceriated or lanthanated.
Usually the least expensive of all tungsten, pure tungsten
is generally used in the welding of aluminum and magnesium
alloys (AC). |

| 2% Ceriated |

2% ceriated tungsten contain
a nominal 2 wt-% or cerium oxide (CeO2).
Ceriated is different from the thoriated as it is not a
radioactive material. Also, the ceriated tungsten tends to
last longer than thoriated and can be used proficiently
with AC or DC. In manual applications the ceriated
tungsten will provide slightly different electrical
characteristics than the thoriated tungsten but generally
no difference will be seen by the operator. Generally used
to weld carbon & stainless steels, nickel alloys and
titanium. |

| 2% Lanthanated |
Black |
.020 x 7" |
2% lanthanated or "rare
earth" tungsten contain a nominal 2 wt-% lanthanum
oxide (LaO3). This type of tungsten is very
similar to ceriated as it too is a non-radioactive
material. Lanthanated electrodes operate at slightly
different arc voltages than thoriated or ceriated
electrodes. Were developed around the same time as
ceriated tungsten to help combat the increasing awareness
of the radioactivity of thoriated tungsten. Generally used
to weld carbon & stainless steels, nickel alloys and
titanium. |
