  • TIG welding electrodes usually contain small quantities of metallic oxides which can offer the following benefits: -Facilitate arc starting -Increase arc stability -Improve current carrying capacity of the electrode -Reduce the risk of weld contamination -Increase electrode life
  • Oxides used are primarily zirconium, thorium, lanthanum or cerium
  • Additions are 1% - 4%, improve arc initiation, especially when direct current (DC) welding is employed
  • Thorium oxide (thoria), effective in terms of long life and thermal efficiency
  • Zirconium oxide (zirconia) has been commonly used for alternating (AC) TIG welding, welding aluminum
  • Electrode length: 7"
  • Each package contains 10 electrodes; Pure:
  • Lowest current capacity and least expensive
  • Maintains a clean balled end for welding on AC
  • More prone to weld contamination than other types of tungsten electrodes
  • Tends to spit at higher currents
  • Used for non-critical welds only
