Taurus TIG Tungsten Lanthanated 1.6mmThe Taurus lanthanated tungsten electrode has an excellent arc-starting characteristic, a low burn-off rate, good arc stability and excellent re-ignition characteristics and is best applied at medium to high-amperage range. These electrodes have characteristics similar to the EWCe-2 product, contain lanthanum oxide (lanthana) and are non-radioactive and therefore safe to use in almost all normal conditions and environments. However, precautions must be taken when grinding or machining electrode tips containing thorium oxide. Dust particles from such operations need to be contained in order to avoid inhalation. Application:Lanthanated tungsten electrodes perform exceptionally well in both AC and DC current and have a low erosion rate. The electrodes are effective for welding aluminum, magnesium, copper and titanium alloys as well as low allowed steels, stainless steel and non-corroding steels.Classifications: AWS EWLa-1.5 (GOLD) AWS A5.12M/A5.12:2009 (GOLD)
