White Tip Tungsten Electrode – 1% Zirconiated
The white tip tungsten electrode – 1% Zirconiated is alloyed with zirconium oxide (zirconia) and is preferred for AC TIG welding when the highest quality work is necessary and where even the smallest amounts of weld pool contamination cannot be tolerated. This is accomplished because the zirconium alloyed tungsten produces an extremely stable arc which resists tungsten spitting in the arc.
The current carrying capability is equal to or slightly greater than an equal sized cerium, lanthana or thorium alloyed electrode. Zirconium electrodes are typically used only for AC welding with a balled end.
• Composition: 99.2% Tungsten, 0.8% Zirconium
• Application: AC Welding on Aluminum & Magnesium alloys
• Specialty: A very stable arc whilst maintaining a balled tip
• Note: Not recommended for DC Welding
