GYS - 045354 - GYS 1.5% Lanthane Tungsten Electrodes - Ø2.4 (10 Pack)

Lanthanum Tungsten (gold) electrodes are universal TIG electrodes that can be used for both direct and alternating current. They are particularlyrecommended for welding pure materials or Aluminium, Titanium, Nickel, Copper and Magnesium alloys. The Lanthanum oxide level (1.5%) in their composition gives them a slower wear and a less current consuming ignition than WR2 electrodes. They are recommended for low currents. - Manufacturers part numbers: 045354|GYS_

• Better life
• Good initiation quality
• Recommended for welding pure materials or Aluminum, Titanium, Nickel, Copper and Magnesium alloys
• Versatile, it can be used in direct current (DC) for Steel, Stainless Steel and in alternating current (AC ) for Aluminum
• Composed of 1.5% lanthanum oxide (non-radioactive electrode)
• 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.
