*Bossweld Tungsten Electrode Pack Information

Bossweld Multi Pack Tungsten Electrodes contains 2 x 1.6mm Thoriated, 2 x 2.4mm Thoriated, 1 x 1.6mm Ceriated, 1 x 2.4mm Ceriated, 1 x 1.6mm Zirconated, 1 x 2.4mm Zirconated, 1 x 1.6mm Lanthanated, 1 x 2.4mm Lanthanated

Ceriated Tungsten

These electrodes perform best in DC welding at low current settings but can be used proficiently in AC or DC processes. With its excellent arc starts at low amperages, ceriated tungsten has become popular in such applications as orbital tube and pipe manufacturing, thin sheet metal work or jobs where small and delicate parts are welded. Like thorium, it is best used to weld carbon and stainless steels, nickel alloys and titanium, making it an obvious replacement for 2% thoriated electrodes.

Rare Earth Tungsten

A premium, environmentally friendly, long life, high performance tungsten blend providing easy arc striking, smooth arc transfer and a low burn off rate.

Suitable for all applications of TIG welding, including DC and AC welding for non-alloyed and high-alloyed steel, copper, nickel, aluminium, titanium and magnesium alloys.

Zirconated tungsten electrodes are good at the performance in AC welding, especially under high load current. These electrodes can retain a balled end when welding, which results in less tungsten permeation and good corrosion resistance. It balls up well in AC welding and has a more stable arc than pure tungsten. Especially with excellent performance in high load AC welding, it is not replaceable by any other electrodes. It also resists contamination well in AC welding. Resists contamination.

2% Thoriated Tungsten

contains a nominal 2 wt-% or thorium oxide (ThO2) that is evenly dispersed throughout the entire length of the Tungsten. The most common type of Tungsten used today. Thoriated tungsten electrode provides excellent resistance from weld pool contamination while at the same time offers the welder easier arc starting capabilities and a more stable arc. Generally speaking, thoriated tungsten electrodes are used for DC electrode negative or straight polarity applications such as carbon & stainless steels, nickel alloys and titanium.

Lanthanated Tungsten

 Great welding performance. The electric conductivity of lanthanated tungsten electrode is very similiar to that of 1.5% thoriated Tungsten electrodes. Welders can easily replace thoriated tungsten electrodes with lanthanated tungsten electrodes at either AC or DC and not have to make any welding program changes.

Excellent arc starting and re ignition characteristics with low burn off rates.

Suitable for DC and AC applications especially in medium to high current applications.
