OVERVIEW

Precision and Safety with CK Gold Tungsten

Upgrade your TIG welding setup with CK Worldwide's 1.5% Lanthanated "Gold" Tungsten electrodes. If you have been looking for a safer, high-performance replacement for your old Thoriated red tungsten, this is the industry standard solution. The T0407GL .040" electrodes are perfect for those delicate, low-amperage jobs where arc control is everything. Whether you are welding thin stainless steel sheet metal, titanium tubing for motorsports, or intricate nickel alloy parts, these electrodes deliver a crisp, stable arc that starts instantly every time.

One of the biggest frustrations in TIG welding is a wandering arc or a tip that degrades too quickly. The 1.5% Lanthanated formula solves this by holding its point much longer than pure or ceriated tungsten, meaning you spend more time welding and less time walking to the grinder. The "Gold" color code makes it easy to identify in your kit. Because it is non-radioactive, you don't have to worry about the health hazards associated with grinding radioactive dust, making your shop environment safer for everyone.

These electrodes are incredibly versatile. While they shine in DC applications on carbon and stainless steel, they can also handle AC work if needed, making them a great "all-around" choice for your toolbox. The 10-pack ensures you have plenty of consumables on hand for big projects. Compatible with all standard TIG torches and collets, the CK T0407GL offers the reliability professional welders demand. Experience smoother arc starts, better re-ignition, and cleaner welds with CK Worldwide's premium manufacturing quality.

FAQ

The color code for 1.5% Lanthanated tungsten is Gold.

No, 1.5% Lanthanated tungsten is non-radioactive, making it a safer alternative to Thoriated tungsten.

Yes, while it is optimized for DC welding, 1.5% Lanthanated tungsten can function in AC applications, though Ceriated or Pure might be preferred for specific aluminum applications depending on the machine.

It is best suited for Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel, Nickel Alloys, Titanium, and Copper Alloys.

It offers similar or better arc starting and stability characteristics without the radiation hazards, and often has a lower erosion rate.

The diameter is .040 inches (approximately 1.0 mm).

No, you can use standard tungsten grinders. Since it is non-radioactive, special ventilation for radiation is not required, though standard dust protection is always recommended.

The AWS classification is EWLa-1.5.
