CK Worldwide T1167G Pure Tungsten Electrode 1/16

Pure tungsten electrodes deliver reliable arc starting and stable performance for AC welding applications on aluminum and magnesium alloys. This 1/16" diameter pure tungsten provides consistent arc characteristics without the additives found in thoriated or lanthanated electrodes.

Pure tungsten electrodes are ideal for AC TIG welding where clean, contamination-free welds are critical. The 1/16" diameter offers excellent control for precision work on thin materials while maintaining good arc stability across a range of amperage settings.

• Material: 99.5% pure tungsten
• Diameter: 1/16" (1.6mm)
• Classification: AWS A5.12 EWP
• Color Code: Green tip identification
• Application: AC welding of aluminum and magnesium
• Arc Starting: Excellent on AC current
• Contamination Resistance: Superior clean weld quality

Pure tungsten electrodes excel in applications requiring maximum weld purity, making them the preferred choice for critical aluminum welding in aerospace, food service equipment, and architectural applications. The 1/16" size is particularly well-suited for thin gauge materials and precision work where tight arc control is essential.
