OVERVIEW

Master Aluminum Welding with White Tungsten

If you are looking to lay down stack-of-dimes welds on aluminum, the T0407ZIR .040" Zirconiated Tungsten is your secret weapon. Known in the trade as "White Tungsten," these electrodes are specifically built to handle the unique demands of AC TIG welding. Whether you are fixing a cracked transmission case, fabricating custom brackets, or working on thin aluminum sheet metal, these electrodes provide the stability you need to produce clean, professional results.

Why choose Zirconiated over the old-school Green (Pure) tungsten? It's all about performance and frustration reduction. Pure tungsten has a tendency to spit and degrade under high heat, which can ruin your weld with inclusions. Zirconiated tungsten stands up to the heat much better, resisting contamination and maintaining a perfect balled tip. This means you get a smooth, steady arc that goes exactly where you point it, without the wandering or sputtering that plagues lower-quality consumables.

This pack contains ten 7-inch electrodes, giving you plenty of supply for your upcoming projects. The .040" size is perfect for low-amperage work on thin materials, giving you fine control over the heat input. Simply install one in your torch, set your machine to AC, and experience the difference a high-quality electrode makes. Stop fighting your arc and start welding with confidence using our premium White Zirconiated Tungsten.

FAQ

This tungsten has a White color code, indicating it is Zirconiated.

No, Zirconiated tungsten is designed specifically for AC welding. For DC welding, Thoriated (Red) or Lanthanated (Blue/Gold) is recommended.

No, for AC welding with Zirconiated tungsten, you generally want the tip to form a shiny ball. You can slightly chamfer it, but do not grind it to a sharp needle point like you would for DC.

This electrode is excellent for Aluminum and Magnesium.

Yes, Zirconiated tungsten resists spitting better than Pure tungsten and can handle higher amperages while maintaining a stable balled tip.

You will need a 0.040" (1.0mm) collet and collet body to match the diameter of this electrode.

This item is typically sold as a package of 10 electrodes.

The AWS classification for Zirconiated tungsten is EWZr-1.
