2% Thoriated Tungsten Electrode, 1/16, Red, 7 In L, 10PK

XTRweldTM Thoriated Tungsten Electrodes are the industry standard for TIG/GTAW welding, known for their longevity, arc stability, and ease of use. Containing thorium oxide evenly dispersed throughout the electrode, these electrodes maintain a sharpened point longer than other types, resulting in excellent arc starts and control. With tungsten's exceptional hardness and a melting point of 3,410°C, thoriated electrodes perform reliably under high heat while minimizing electrode consumption.

• Industry’s most widely used tungsten electrode
• Contains thorium oxide for improved durability and arc stability
• Excellent performance for DC welding on carbon steel, stainless steel, nickel, and titanium
• Maintains a sharp point for precision welding, especially on thin materials
• Reduces weld contamination due to minimal tungsten deposition
