TUNGSTENS THORIATED RED 1.6MM SUIT STAINLESS OR MILD STEEL

Tungstens Thoriated Red 1.6mm - Ideal for Stainless and Mild Steel Welding

The Tungsten Thoriated Red 1.6mm electrodes are highly popular for their durability, efficiency, and precision in welding applications. Comprising 97.30% tungsten and 2% thorium, these electrodes deliver superior performance in DC welding with stainless steel, mild steel, nickel, and titanium. Thanks to thorium's electron emission properties, these electrodes offer improved arc starts, greater current-carrying capacity, and superior arc stability with minimal wandering. Additionally, their low melting point ensures reduced electrode consumption over time.

These electrodes excel in DC electrode negative (straight polarity) welding, providing a contaminant-free weld for cleaner, higher-quality results. While not ideal for general AC welding, they are effective for specialty AC applications, such as welding thin-gauge aluminum and other materials below 0.060 inches in thickness.

Thorium’s uniform dispersion throughout the electrode helps maintain a sharp, reliable edge, making these electrodes perfect for thin steel welding. However, due to the radioactive nature of thorium, it's essential to handle with care. Always follow the manufacturer's safety guidelines, including sharpening instructions and the MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet), to ensure safe use.

Key Features:

• 2% thorium content for enhanced performance
• Superior arc stability and reduced electrode wear
• Ideal for DC welding on stainless steel, mild steel, nickel, and titanium
• Low contamination levels for cleaner welds
• Excellent for precise, thin metal applications
• Radioactive material requires careful handling and adherence to safety guidelines

For professionals seeking high-quality, long-lasting electrodes, Tungstens Thoriated Red 1.6mm provides reliability and precision in demanding welding applications.
