This article discusses Tungsten electrodes and their use in gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) or tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding. The WeldingCity 10-pk Purple Tungsten Electrodes E3 Non-Radioactive 1/8"x 7" are premium quality tribal-oxides Tungsten electrodes that can replace the 2% Thoraited TIG welding Tungsten electrode. These electrodes have tribal-oxides mixed in to perform similarly to 2% Thoriated tungsten and have a diameter of 1/8" (3.2mm) and a length of 7". One box contains ten 2.0% Tribal-Oxide (Purple) Tungsten electrodes (1/8") and offers free shipping within the U.S. Tungsten alloys have been standardized by the International Organization for Standardization and the American Welding Society for use in GTAW electrodes. WP (GREEN) is a pure tungsten electrode that is low cost but has poor heat resistance and electron emission. WC (GREY) is an alloy containing cerium oxide that improves arc stability and ease of starting while decreasing burn-off. WL (2.0% BLUE, 1.5% GOLD) is an alloy of lanthanum oxide that has a similar effect as cerium, and WT (RED) is an alloy containing thorium oxide that offers excellent arc performance and starting, but is slightly radioactive. Tungsten is a chemical element with the symbol W and atomic number 74. It has the highest melting temperature among pure metals, making it an ideal choice for a non-consumable electrode in GTAW. The electrode can have either a clean or ground finish and a diameter between 0.5 and 6.4 millimeters and a length between 75 and 610 millimeters. In summary, appropriate Tungsten electrodes are essential for successful GTAW welds, and WeldingCity offers a range The article also mentions accessory kits for 0.040" Tungsten Electrodes for various torch setups. The kits include options for a regular or gas lens setup and different torches such as 17/18/26 or 9/20/25. These kits contain a collet, collet boy, cup, and gasket or gas lens, cup, and gasket depending on the setup. These kits and more products can be found at WeldingCity's eBay store.
