Tungsten 2% Thoriated 3.2 mm Red Tip

Features & Benefits

» 2% thoriated tungsten electrode designed for heavy-duty DC TIG welding applications
» 3.2mm diameter provides excellent current-carrying capacity for high-amperage industrial welding
» Thorium oxide content improves electron emission for reliable arc starting and stability
» Maintains a precision-ground point during prolonged welding cycles
» Excellent resistance to tip deformation, splitting and balling during appropriate DC operation
» Stable, concentrated arc helps minimise arc wandering and maintain accurate weld penetration
» Reliable high-frequency ignition provides quick starts and consistent hot restarts
» 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 heavy fabrication, structural steel, thick plate and industrial pipe welding
» Contains thorium, a low-level radioactive material, so appropriate precautions and dust controls should be used when grinding or dressing the electrode
