GYS 045330 Lanthane Tungsten Electrodes Ø1.6 (10 Pack), 1.6 mm

Tungsten electrodes are used for TIG welding. The very high melting temperature of Tungsten (approx. 3400°C) maintains an electric arc between the workpiece and the electrode without wearing out the electrode quickly. Several types of electrodes exist depending on the processes used. The EN26848 and ISO 6848 standards provide information on these electrodes. Composed of 1.5% lanthanum oxide (non-radioactive electrode) Versatile, it can be used in direct current (DC) for Steel, Stainless Steel and in alternating current (AC ) for Aluminum Recommended for welding pure materials or Aluminum, Titanium, Nickel, Copper and Magnesium alloys Good initiation quality Better lifespan Ø 1.6 mm / Length 150 mm, Weight: 0.110231131 Pounds, Manufacturer: GYS
