Code: TUN2T
2% Thoriated TIG welding tungstens - Red Tipped available in sizes 1.6mm, 2.4mm and 3.2mm.
Thoriated tungsten electrodes contain
a minimum of 97.30 percent tungsten and 1.70 to 2.20 percent thorium and are
called 2 percent thoriated. They are the most commonly used electrodes today
and are preferred for their longevity and ease of use. Compared with other
electrodes, thoriated electrodes deposit less tungsten into the weld puddle, so
they cause less weld contamination.
These electrodes are used mainly for specialty AC welding (such as thin-gauge aluminum and material less than 0.060 inch) and DC welding, either electrode negative or straight polarity, on carbon steel, stainless steel, nickel, and titanium.
