OVERVIEW

The Ultimate General Purpose Tungsten

If you are looking for one tungsten electrode to rule them all, the CK Worldwide 2% Lanthanated (Blue) 3/32" electrode is your answer. For years, welders had to switch between Green tungsten for aluminum and Red tungsten for steel. The 2% Lanthanated tungsten changes the game by offering a true "all-in-one" solution that delivers professional results across the board. Whether you are welding in your garage with a new inverter machine or working in a production shop with a heavy-duty transformer, these electrodes provide the consistency and reliability you need to lay down perfect beads every time.

The "Blue" tungsten is widely recognized as the best non-radioactive substitute for the popular 2% Thoriated (Red) tungsten. It offers the same great arc starting and ability to hold a sharp point, but without the radiation concerns. This means you can grind your tungsten without worrying about radioactive dust. The 2% Lanthanated formula also boasts a low erosion rate, meaning the tip stays sharper for longer, reducing the number of times you have to stop and walk back to the grinder. This increased longevity translates to better productivity and less wasted material.

This 10-pack of 3/32" electrodes is the perfect size for medium-to-heavy amperage applications. The 3/32" diameter is robust enough to handle higher heat for thicker plates but precise enough for general fabrication work. It excels at welding a massive variety of materials, including Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel, Aluminum Alloys, Magnesium, Titanium, Nickel, and Copper Alloys. With excellent arc stability and a wide amperage range, the CK T3327GL2 allows you to tackle diverse projects without constantly changing your setup. Upgrade your TIG torch with CK Worldwide's premium Lanthanated tungsten and experience smoother starts and cleaner welds.

FAQ

No, 2% Lanthanated tungsten (Blue) is non-radioactive. It is a safe alternative to Thoriated (Red) tungsten, which contains radioactive Thorium.

Yes, 2% Lanthanated tungsten works excellently for AC welding of aluminum and magnesium. It maintains a balled end well and provides good arc stability.

Both are excellent general-purpose electrodes. The 2% Lanthanated (Blue) generally offers slightly better arc starting and handles slightly higher amperage than the 1.5% (Gold) version, making it even closer in performance to Thoriated tungsten.

No, 2% Lanthanated tungsten works well with both modern inverter power sources and older transformer-based machines (square wave or sine wave).

For DC welding on steel or stainless, grind the tip to a sharp point, grinding longitudinally (parallel to the length of the rod) to ensure a stable arc.

The AWS classification for 2% Lanthanated tungsten is EWLa-2. In ISO standards, it is referred to as WL20.

You can weld Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel, Nickel Alloys, Titanium, Aluminum, Magnesium, and Copper Alloys. It is truly a universal electrode.

The color code is an industry standard to identify the composition of the electrode. Blue indicates 2% Lanthanated, distinguishing it from Red (Thoriated), Green (Pure), and others.
