Rare Earth Tungsten Electrodes – Perfect TIG Welds Every Time Elevate your TIG welding performance with Tigware’s Rare Earth Tungsten Electrodes — a premium pack of 10 rods engineered for superior arc starts, long life, and minimal contamination. Ideal for both AC and DC applications, these electrodes are your go-to when working with metals like titanium, stainless steel, aluminium alloys, and more. Key Features: 3% Mixed Oxide Composition for excellent ignition and consistent arc performance. Specs: 2.4 mm / 3⁄32″ diameter, 175 mm (≈ 7″) length — great size for general-purpose TIG work. Purple Tip Colour Coding — to help you quickly identify the Rare Earth / mixed-oxide type. Compatible with AC or DC welding, and suitable for a wide range of materials: titanium, steel, stainless, chrome-moly, aluminium, nickel-based alloys, etc. Designed to minimise contamination and reduce frequent regrinding / replacement. Torch Compatibility: Fits all standard TIG torch collets designed for 2.4 mm (3/32″) tungsten Works with both air-cooled and water-cooled TIG torches Compatible with common torch series: #9 / #20 torch style (small body) #17 / #18 / #26 torch style (standard body) Works with stubby gas lens kits & standard collet bodies Welding Current Compatibility: DC Electrode Negative (DCEN): For steels, stainless, nickel alloys, titanium, etc. DC Electrode Positive (DCEP): Limited use, mainly for shallow penetration / special cases. AC (Alternating Current): Suitable for aluminium, magnesium, and their alloys. Material Compatibility: Steel (mild, carbon, and alloy steels) Stainless steel (all grades, incl. duplex and super-duplex) Titanium Nickel-based alloys (Inconel, Monel, Hastelloy, etc.) Aluminium and aluminium alloys (on AC with balance control) Magnesium and magnesium alloys Copper and copper alloys (bronze, brass, etc.) Chrome-moly (4130, etc.) Machine Compatibility: Works with all modern TIG welding power sources (inverter or transformer type) capable of AC and/or DC TIG. Recommended for machines with high frequency (HF) start or lift start ignition. Why These Electrodes Stand Out:These electrodes offer a balance between performance and versatility. If you need excellent arc stability, fewer arc outages, and cleaner starts, this Rare Earth pack is a reliable choice. Whether fabricating, repairing, or doing precision stainless work, these rods reduce downtime and deliver more consistent weld results.
