CK Worldwide T187GL-3 1.5% Lanthanated Tungsten Electrode 1/8" x 7

CK's 1.5% lanthanated tungsten electrodes deliver exceptional arc stability and extended electrode life for precision TIG welding across AC and DC applications. These 1/8" x 7" electrodes provide superior performance on aluminum, stainless steel, and carbon steel with consistent arc initiation and minimal contamination.

Lanthanated tungsten offers excellent conductivity and maintains a sharp point longer than traditional thoriated electrodes, making it ideal for critical weld applications requiring precise heat control. The 1.5% lanthanum oxide content provides optimal balance between arc stability and electrode longevity.
