Description
Professional-grade 3/32″ 2% ceriated tungsten electrodesengineered for superior arc initiation and stable performance across DC welding applications. The cerium oxide addition provides excellent starting characteristics at lower amperages while maintaining consistent arc stability throughout extended welding sessions.
2% ceriated tungsten offers optimal performance for carbon steel, stainless steel, and nickel alloysin DC straight polarity applications. The cerium additive allows for reliable arc starting at 15-20% lower amperage compared to pure tungsten, making it ideal for precision work and thin material welding.
