CK T5327GL 5/32″ 1.5% Lanthanated tungsten electrodes deliver superior arc starting performance and extended electrode life for AC and DC welding applications. This lanthanated tungsten provides excellent arc stability with lower work function characteristics compared to pure tungsten, making it ideal for precision TIG welding across multiple materials.

Key Features:

• 5/32″ diameter— Standard size for medium to heavy amperage applications
• 1.5% Lanthanated composition— Enhanced arc initiation and stability
• AWS A5.12 compliant— Meets industry welding standards
• Lower work function— Easier arc starting than pure tungsten
• Extended electrode life— Reduced consumption and replacement frequency
• AC/DC compatible— Versatile for various welding processes

Welding Applications & Amperage Guidelines

• DC welding:150-250 amps for steel, stainless steel, and titanium
• AC welding:125-200 amps for aluminum and magnesium alloys
• Material compatibility:Carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, titanium, and exotic alloys
• Grind preparation:Point for DC applications, balled end for AC welding

The 1.5% lanthanated composition offers superior performance over pure tungsten with improved arc starting characteristics and reduced electrode consumption. This tungsten grade provides consistent welding performance in both manual and automated TIG welding applications, making it suitable for production welding environments requiring reliable arc characteristics and extended electrode service life.
