Thoriated Tungsten Electrode
Details
Thoriated tungsten electrode falls within traditional electrodes with superior welding performance. It is free of arc interruption, arc scattering, arc levitation and spattering in process of welding, and it is characterized by stable electric arc and high temperature resistance. The tungsten electrode head may scarcely become round, and its service life is relatively long. However, thoriated tungsten electrode is slightly radioactive, and its application is therefore restricted and resisted to a certain extent.
