CK Worldwide T187GT2-3 Tungsten Electrode 1/8" x 7" 2% Thoriated

Professional-grade 2% thoriated tungsten electrodes engineered for superior arc starting and consistent welding performance across a wide range of applications. These 1/8" diameter x 7" length electrodes deliver exceptional arc stability and longevity for both carbon steel and stainless steel welding operations. Thoriated tungsten electrodes are the industry standard for DC welding applications, offering excellent electron emission characteristics that result in easy arc initiation and stable arc maintenance. The 2% thoria content provides optimal balance between performance and electrode life, making these electrodes ideal for high-amperage industrial welding operations. Key Specifications Diameter: 1/8" (3.2mm) Length: 7" Composition: 2% Thoriated Tungsten Application: GTAW/TIG welding Polarity: DC welding (DCEN) Material Compatibility: Carbon steel, stainless steel Manufacturer SKU: T187GT2-3 The larger 1/8" diameter makes these electrodes well-suited for higher amperage applications where maximum current capacity and heat resistance are required. The 7" length provides extended electrode life and reduces the frequency of electrode changes during long welding sessions. Ideal for professional fabricators, maintenance welders, and industrial applications requiring consistent, high-quality welds on ferrous materials. These thoriated tungsten electrodes maintain their point geometry longer than pure tungsten, reducing grinding frequency and improving productivity in demanding shop environments.
