Pepetools USA-made tungsten electrodes are designed for use with pulse arc welding machines and permanent jewelry setups, offering consistent performance across a range of common materials. They are made from solid, radiation-free tungsten and can be used when working with gold, gold-filled, silver, titanium, and other metals often used in permanent jewelry. Each electrode is manufactured with one end pre-sharpened to a 15 degree angle, which supports controlled, precise welds when closing jump rings or finishing chains. The precision-ground tip also reduces how often you need to resharpen, helping maintain a smoother workflow during busy sessions. Instead of using traditional thoriated tungsten, these electrodes contain a 1.5 percent lanthanum composition, providing a safer, radiation-free option while still maintaining reliable arc performance. They are well suited for detailed work on 14k gold, sterling silver, gold-filled, and copper pieces, making them a practical choice for permanent jewelry artists who need consistency and control in their welds. 1.0MM Diameter Tungsten (non-radioactive) Electrodes 1.5% Lanthanated 66 mm (2.6 in) in length. Precision sharpened on one side Pack of 15 Made in USA The Helix Electrode Sharpener is available as an option for maintaining electrode tips used in permanent jewelry welding.
