Professional-grade 2% ceriated tungsten electrode in .040" diameter delivers superior arc starting performance and extended electrode life for precision TIG welding applications. Ceriated tungsten provides excellent arc initiation at lower amperages while maintaining stable arc characteristics across a wide current range.
This tungsten electrode excels in both AC and DC welding applications, offering consistent performance on aluminum, stainless steel, and mild steel. The 2% cerium oxide content enhances electron emission properties, resulting in easier arc starts and reduced tungsten consumption compared to pure tungsten electrodes.
