LANTHANATED TUNGSTEN 2% BLUE 1/16"(1.6mm), 10-Pack (Discontinued)

The Blue lanthanated electrodes are popular due to the relative ease of striking an arc and lower amperage required. They perform exceptionally well in both AC & DC applications and are a popular general use electrode. Blue electrodes are effective for welding aluminum alloys, magnesium alloys, nickel alloys, copper alloys, titanium alloys, low-alloyed steels, and non-corroding steels. Lanthanated electrodes are popular due to the relative ease of striking an arc and lower amperage required. They perform exceptionally well in both AC & DC applications. Benefits: • Similar performance to thoriated tungsten • Easy arc starting • Good arc stability • Long life • High current capacity • Possible replacement for thoriated
