CK Worldwide T187GTM-3 LaYZr 1/8" Tungsten Electrode

CK's LaYZr tungsten electrodes deliver exceptional arc starting and superior stability for precision TIG welding applications. This 1/8" diameter tungsten combines lanthanum, yttrium, and zirconium oxides for extended electrode life and consistent performance across AC and DC welding processes. The LaYZr formulation provides excellent arc initiation with lower amperage requirements while maintaining a stable, focused arc throughout the welding process. Suitable for welding aluminum, stainless steel, carbon steel, and exotic alloys in professional fabrication environments. Diameter: 1/8" (3.2mm) Manufacturer SKU: T187GTM-3 Amperage Range: 150-300 amps Process Compatibility: AC/DC TIG welding Alloy Type: Lanthanum-Yttrium-Zirconium oxide blend Tip Color: Gray identification Applications: Aluminum, stainless steel, carbon steel welding The rare earth oxide blend in LaYZr tungsten electrodes reduces contamination and extends electrode life compared to traditional thoriated tungsten, making them ideal for high-production welding operations. The 1/8" diameter handles medium to heavy amperage applications while maintaining precise arc control for critical joint configurations.
