CK Worldwide T1167GL Tungsten Electrode 1/16" 1.5% Lanthanated

1.5% Lanthanated tungsten electrodes deliver superior arc starting performance and consistent welding characteristics for both AC and DC TIG applications. This 1/16" diameter electrode provides excellent contamination resistance and maintains a sharp point longer than thoriated alternatives. Lanthanated tungsten offers optimal performance across a wide amperage range while producing minimal electrode consumption. The 1.5% lanthanum oxide content creates stable arc characteristics with reduced spitting and wandering, making it ideal for precision welding on stainless steel, carbon steel, and exotic alloys. Diameter: 1/16" (1.6mm) Composition: 1.5% Lanthanated tungsten Color Code: Gold tip identification Applications: AC and DC TIG welding Base Materials: Steel, stainless steel, exotic alloys Arc Starting: Superior ignition characteristics Contamination Resistance: Excellent durability This electrode size is well-suited for precision TIG work requiring tight arc control and consistent penetration. The 1/16" diameter works effectively with lower amperage settings while maintaining arc stability, making it a versatile choice for thin material welding and detailed fabrication work where electrode longevity and consistent performance are essential.
