CK Worldwide T1167GC2-3 Tungsten Electrode 1/16" x 7" 2% Ceriated

2% Ceriated tungsten electrode engineered for superior arc starting and stable performance across AC and DC welding applications. This 1/16" diameter electrode delivers consistent results for precision TIG work on steel, stainless steel, and exotic alloys. Ceriated tungsten offers excellent arc initiation at lower amperages compared to pure tungsten, making it ideal for thin material welding and applications requiring precise heat control. The 2% cerium content provides enhanced electron emission while maintaining electrode longevity in demanding shop environments. Diameter: 1/16" (1.6mm) Length: 7" Composition: 2% Ceriated Manufacturer SKU: T1167GC2-3 Application: AC/DC TIG welding Material Compatibility: Steel, stainless steel, exotic alloys The 7" length provides extended service life and allows for multiple re-sharpenings, reducing electrode replacement frequency. Ceriated tungsten maintains its tip geometry longer than thoriated alternatives while offering similar arc characteristics, making it a preferred choice for production welding environments where consistent performance is critical.
