Premium 99.5% Pure Tungsten Electrode for TIG Welding – 2.4mm x 175mm, Green Band
Product Overview
This Pure Tungsten TIG electrode (also known as WP tungsten) is identified by its green color-coded tip and manufactured from 99.5% pure tungsten. Available in the popular 2.4mm diameter and standard 175mm length, this electrode is a top choice for welders working with AC-powered TIG welding machines, particularly for aluminum and magnesium applications.
Key Features
- Composition: 99.5% pure tungsten (no alloying elements)
- Diameter: 2.4mm (3/32")
- Length: 175mm (7")
- Color Code: Green tip for easy identification
- Current Type: Optimized for AC welding
- Balanced Wave Arc: Produces a stable, balled tip ideal for consistent arc control
Best Used For
Pure tungsten electrodes are the industry standard for AC TIG welding of:
- Aluminum and aluminum alloys
- Magnesium and magnesium alloys
- Applications requiring excellent arc stability and a clean, balled electrode tip
Why Choose Pure Tungsten (Green Tip)?
Unlike thoriated (red), ceriated (grey), or lanthanated (blue/gold) tungstens, pure tungsten electrodes form a smooth, rounded ball at the tip during AC welding. This balled shape delivers superior arc stability and a cleaner puddle when welding non-ferrous metals, making it the go-to option for hobbyists and professionals working on aluminum fabrication, automotive, marine, and general metalworking projects.
