Why Choose 2% Lanthanated Tungsten?

2% lanthanated tungsten is an excellent all-round TIG electrode, providing reliable arc starting, excellent arc stability, good current-carrying capacity and a low burn-off rate.

Its ability to perform across both AC and DC TIG welding makes it a versatile choice for welders working with multiple materials and welding processes.

Lanthanated electrodes are also a popular non-radioactive alternative to thoriated tungsten electrodes.

Choosing Your Tungsten Size

The best tungsten diameter depends on your welding amperage, material and machine setup.

• 1.6mm – Ideal for lower-amperage TIG welding, thinner materials and precision work
• 2.4mm – A versatile general-purpose size suitable for a wide range of everyday TIG welding applications
• 3.2mm – Suited to higher-amperage TIG welding and heavier material

Always select the tungsten diameter appropriate for your welding machine, amperage and application.
