Description
High-Performance Thoriated Tungsten for Precise TIG Welding
The TRANSARC Thoriated Tungsten 3.2mm (2%) electrodes are designed for superior DC TIG welding performance. Packaged in a convenient 10-pack, these red-tipped electrodes are ideal for professionals who demand precision, arc stability, and reliable re-ignition.
Why Choose 2% Thoriated Tungsten?
Thoriated tungsten is known for its excellent electron emission properties, which makes it easier to start and maintain a stable arc. The 2% thorium oxide content enhances durability and allows the electrode to carry higher current loads without compromising performance. It’s a top choice for welding carbon steel, stainless steel, nickel alloys, and titanium using DC polarity.
Built for Tough Welding Applications
With a 3.2mm diameter, these electrodes offer increased current capacity and penetration. They are perfect for thicker material applications such as structural steel, pressure vessels, pipelines, and general fabrication. The red tip clearly identifies them as EWTh-2 class electrodes per AWS/ANSI standards.
Because thoriated tungsten retains its shape and resists contamination, it ensures clean, repeatable welds—job after job.
Safety Tip: Always Grind Safely
Thorium is radioactive in small quantities. While safe to use under normal TIG welding conditions, always grind these electrodes using proper dust extraction and wear a mask during preparation to reduce inhalation risks. For more information, refer to this industry safety guideline on tungsten use.
