Thoriated Tungsten Electrodes

Thoriated Tungsten Electrodes

1.???Mineral in this Electrodes is Thorium oxide

2.???Designated with EWTh-X

3.???High electron emission,

4.???Better arc stability

5.???Improved resistance to tungsten contamination

6.???Thoria is a radioactive material, and all safety measures must be followed precisely, especially when grinding thoriated tungsten electrodes

EWTh-1/WT10

1.??????Designed for DC applications

2.??????Desirable for welding carbon steel

3.??????Maintain a balled end when used with alternating current

4.??????Designated with Yellow Colour

5.??????1% Thoria Content

EWTh-2/WT20

1.??????Principal Oxide is1.7–2.2% Thorium Oxide (ThO?)

2.??????Better operating characteristics than the yellow EWTh-1

3.??????Great choice for titanium alloys, nickel alloys, copper alloys, and non-corroding steels

4.??????Higher melting temperature than other tungsten electrodes

5.??????Lower rate of consumption

6.??????More stable arc

7.??????Excellent performance

8.??????Most commonly used tungsten electrode

9.??????Ease of use

10.??Designated with Red Colour
