CK 1/4" 2% thoriated tungsten electrodes deliver consistent arc initiation and superior stability for demanding DC welding applications on steel and stainless steel. These professional-grade electrodes maintain their point geometry longer than pure tungsten, reducing electrode preparation time between welds. The 2% thorium content provides excellent electron emission characteristics, enabling stable arc performance at lower voltages while extending electrode life. Ideal for production welding environments where consistency and productivity are critical. Diameter: 1/4" (6.35mm) Alloy: 2% Thoriated (WT20) Manufacturer SKU: T147GT2 Applications: DC welding, steel, stainless steel Process: GTAW/TIG welding Arc Characteristics: Superior stability and initiation These electrodes excel in high-amperage DC applications and provide reliable performance for both manual and automated welding operations. The larger 1/4" diameter handles heavy-duty welding currents while maintaining electrode integrity throughout extended welding cycles. Compatible with all standard TIG torches and collet systems designed for 1/4" tungsten electrodes. Recommended for professional fabricators and production welders working with carbon steel, low-alloy steel, and stainless steel materials.
