CK Worldwide T187GL-3 1.5% Lanthanated Tungsten Electrode 1/8" x 7

CK's 1.5% lanthanated tungsten electrodes deliver exceptional arc stability and extended electrode life for precision TIG welding across AC and DC applications. These 1/8" x 7" electrodes provide superior performance on aluminum, stainless steel, and carbon steel with consistent arc initiation and minimal contamination. Lanthanated tungsten offers excellent conductivity and maintains a sharp point longer than traditional thoriated electrodes, making it ideal for critical weld applications requiring precise heat control. The 1.5% lanthanum oxide content provides optimal balance between arc stability and electrode longevity. Diameter: 1/8" (3.2mm) Length: 7" Composition: 1.5% Lanthanated Tungsten Amperage Range: 60-150 amps Welding Process: GTAW/TIG Current Type: AC/DC compatible Manufacturer SKU: T187GL-3 Non-radioactive alternative to thoriated tungsten Excellent arc starting characteristics Superior electrode life and stability These electrodes excel in high-precision applications including aerospace fabrication, pharmaceutical equipment, and food-grade stainless steel welding where contamination control is critical. The 7-inch length provides extended reach for deep joint welding while maintaining optimal heat dissipation through the electrode holder.
