The red thoriated type is Americas favorite electrode for a reason. Extremely long lasting and highly durable, these electrodes are a staple in DC welding applications. These red electrodes are best for copper alloys, nickel alloys, titanium alloys, and non-corroding steels.
WT Thorium- Tungsten Electrode
It is widely used as an additive oxide electrode ,having much more advanced comprehensive welding performance than the properties of Pure Tungsten Electrode and other additive oxide electrodes. It can not be replaced by other oxide electrodes during the long use process. It can be operated easily and current load is high .It can produce arc easily and steadily ,and the gap of the? breaking arc is big ,loss less and long life .It has much higher recrystallizing temperature, much better conductivity and better mechanical cutting property .It is used for welding carbon steel, stainless steel, nickel alloy and titanium metal. It is the first selection material for high quality welding.
2% thoriated tungsten electrodes(EWTh-2) is the rare earth tungsten electrode which uses most early, is also the best tungsten electrode in welding performance until now , therefore, this tungsten electrode(EWTh-2) market share is globally highest, but because of the radioactive contamination in the powder metallurgy and the rolling process, European ,American developed countries limited to use the 2% thoriated tungsten electrodes(EWTh-2).because of its fine welding performance, its use has not been restricted. Thorium is a low-level radioactive material that primarily emits alpha particles as well as some beta and gamma radiation. However, if welding is to be performed in confined spaces for prolonged periods of time or if electrode grinding dust might be ingested, special precautions relative to ventilation should be considered. The user should consult appropriate safety personnel. So many users have switched to other alternatives. 2% thoriated tungsten electrodes are widely used because they make good welds and are long lasting and quite easy to use. A thoriated tungsten electrode operates at a temperature well below its melting temperature. this tungsten electrode is used primarily for DC welding and may split if used for AC welding Material welded is primarily Aluminum and Magnesium
All 2% thoriated tungsten electrodes is packaged 10 pieces of 150mm or 175mm.
Special diameters and lengths are available, please contact sales for inquiries.
W electrode is a suitable for the tig welding and the other electrode material alike. To enforce the welding power of w electrode , we adding rare-earth oxide in the metal w..Such as cerium oxide, thorium oxide, lanthana, zirconia and yttriun oxide ect.
EDM electrode, composition copper tungsten(typical 70-80 wt%), capability to make the composition from Tungsten 30% to 90%. Our Copper tungsten alloy have high physical and mechanical properties, as well as high thermal and electrical conductivity, these properities make our copper tungsten materials very sutitable for the die inserts and electode facing. Our Copper tungsten alloy are designated as ASTMB702, RWMA Class 10, RWMA Class 11, RWMA Class 12, GB/T8320-2003.
E3 Tungsten Electrodes deliver superior arc starting, electrode lifetime, and overall cost effectiveness. Users of 2% thoriated tungsten can switch to E3 tungsten with
confidence. E3 requires fewer re-grinds and provides longer overall lifetime when compared to 2%
thoriated. E3 tungsten can be used on DC electrode positive or negative with a pointed end,
or balled for use with AC power sources.
Featues over Thoriated Tungsten
Lower operating temperature
Fewer re-grinds
Improved arc starting
Versatile use
Grey ceriated electrodes are popular due to their extreme ease of striking an arc with lower amperages, and their extraordinary performance with regard to DC welding applications. They perform best with titanium alloys, copper alloys, magnesium alloys, aluminum alloys, nickel alloys, non-corroding steels, and low-alloyed steels.
WC20 Welding cerium Tungsten Electrode
Cerium-tungsten electrode is a non-radiative and green products .It has good starting arc performance under the condition of low current .It is known to be especially good for direct current welding with low amperage because it starts very easily at low amps .Therefore it is very popular to be used for the welding of pipeline ,fine parts, short welding cycles and given number welding .
The blue lanthanated electrodes are popular due to the relative ease of striking an arc and lower amperage required. They perform exceptionally well in both AC & DC applications, and are a popular general use electrode. Blue electrodes are effective for welding aluminum alloys, magnesium alloys, nickel alloys, copper alloys, titanium alloys, low-alloyed steels, and non-corroding steels.
The gold lanthanated tungsten electrodes contain less lanthanum than their blue counterparts and are best used in DC applications. They are best for welds with titanium alloys, copper alloys, nickel alloys, and non-corroding steel.
Our tungsten copper has good physical and mechanical properties.
1: high electrical conductivity
2: wear erosion
Our CuW alloy have high physical and mechanical properties, as well as high thermal and electrical conductivity, these properities make our materials very sutitable for the die inserts and electode facing. Our Copper tungsten alloy are designated as ASTMB702, RWMA Class 10, RWMA Class 11, RWMA Class 12, GB/T8320-2003.
