Premium WL20 Lanthanated Tungsten Electrode for Precision TIG Welding
Product Overview
This 2.4mm Tungsten Lanthanated 2% (WL20) electrode is precision-manufactured in Germany to exacting quality standards, offering superior arc stability, excellent current-carrying capacity, and a longer service life compared to standard tungsten electrodes. Identified by its gold color-coded tip, this electrode is a versatile, non-radioactive alternative to thoriated tungsten, making it a safer choice for professional and industrial welding applications.
Key Features
- Material Composition: 98% Tungsten + 2% Lanthanum Oxide (Lanthanated Tungsten – WL20)
- Diameter: 2.4mm (0.093")
- Origin: Made in Germany – manufactured under strict quality control for consistent performance
- Tip Color Code: Gold (industry-standard identification per AWS/ISO color coding)
- Non-Radioactive: Safe alternative to thoriated (2% Thorium/Red tip) electrodes
- Excellent Arc Starting: Easy arc initiation, even at low amperages
- Low Erosion Rate: Maintains a sharpened point longer than pure tungsten
Why Choose Lanthanated Tungsten (2%)?
Lanthanated tungsten electrodes are prized by welders for their versatility across AC and DC welding processes. They offer:
- Excellent arc stability and starting characteristics
- Reduced tungsten spitting/splitting compared to thoriated electrodes
- Longer electrode life and reduced re-sharpening frequency
- Suitable for both AC (aluminum, magnesium) and DC (steel, stainless steel, titanium) TIG welding
- A safe, non-radioactive alternative that meets modern workplace safety standards
Recommended Applications
- Stainless steel TIG welding
- Carbon steel and low-alloy steel welding
- Aluminum welding (AC)
- Titanium and nickel alloy welding
- Aerospace, automotive, and precision fabrication industries
- Pipe welding and orbital welding systems
