CK's 1/16" 2% lanthanated tungsten electrodes deliver superior arc starting characteristics and stable welding performance for precision TIG applications. These electrodes excel in both AC and DC welding operations, making them versatile for stainless steel, mild steel, and aluminum work. Lanthanated tungsten offers excellent arc initiation with lower amperage requirements compared to pure tungsten, while maintaining a stable arc throughout the welding process. The 1/16" diameter provides optimal control for detailed work and thin material applications. Diameter: 1/16" (0.0625") Composition: 2% Lanthanated Manufacturer SKU: T1167GL2 Process: GTAW/TIG welding Polarity: AC/DC compatible Applications: Stainless steel, carbon steel, precision welding Arc Starting: Superior initiation characteristics These electrodes are ideal for fabricators and maintenance welders working on thin-gauge materials where precise heat control is critical. The lanthanated composition provides consistent performance across a wide amperage range, reducing electrode consumption and maintaining arc stability for high-quality welds on both ferrous and non-ferrous materials.
