Tungsten Thoriated 1.6mm Red Tip 7000078 Binzel
SKU:
10024375
The Abicor Binzel 1.6mm 2% Thoriated Red Tip Tungsten Electrode is a non-consumable TIG welding electrode designed for precise and stable DC welding applications. Featuring approximately 2% thorium oxide (WT20), it provides reliable arc ignition, excellent current-carrying capability and strong resistance to tip deformation. Its 1.6mm diameter is particularly suited to controlled TIG welding of mild steel, stainless steel, nickel alloys, titanium alloys and copper alloys.
Features & Benefits
» 2% thoriated tungsten electrode designed primarily for DC TIG welding applications
» Thorium oxide content improves electron emission for reliable arc starting and stability
» Excellent current-carrying capability supports consistent welding performance
» Maintains a sharp ground point to provide a focused and controlled welding arc
» Good resistance to tip deformation and balling during appropriate DC operation
» Stable arc characteristics help minimise arc wandering and improve weld accuracy
» Reliable high-frequency ignition helps reduce the need for contact starting
» 1.6mm diameter is suitable for precision and lower-current TIG welding applications
» Red tip provides quick visual identification of the WT20 thoriated classification
» Suitable for mild steel, stainless steel, nickel alloys, titanium alloys and copper alloys
» Ideal for fabrication, maintenance, pipework and precision TIG welding
» Contains thorium, a low-level radioactive material, so appropriate precautions should be taken when grinding or handling electrode dust
