Product Description

Thoriated Tungsten TIG Electrode Description

TIG welding is a welding method that uses the arc heat generated between the tungsten electrode and the workpiece to melt the base material and filler wire under the protection of inert gas. Thoriated Tungsten TIG Electrode is a tungsten alloy bar made by adding about 0.3%-5% of thorium oxide rare earth elements to the tungsten matrix through powder metallurgy, and then processed by pressure. Tungsten is doped with some rare earth oxides with low electron work function, which can not only increase the recrystallization temperature but also activate electron emission.

The tungsten electrode provided by our company has a series of excellent characteristics such as high melting point, good current carrying capacity, good processing stability, low burnout rate, high welding precision, strong arc corrosion resistance, high-temperature resistance, excellent resistance to welding pool pollution, and long service life. Thoriated Tungsten TIG Electrode has excellent comprehensive performance, especially can withstand overload current, and is usually used for DC welding of carbon steel, stainless steel, nickel alloy, and titanium metal. However, due to the presence of slight radioactive contamination, its application in some aspects is limited.
