T0407GC2 - CK Worldwide 2% Ceriated Tungsten .040" x 7" (Grey) - 10 Pack

Reliable Starts for Delicate Welds

When you are working on thin gauge materials or small parts, arc starting is everything. The CK Worldwide 2% Ceriated Tungsten (.040" diameter) is your go-to electrode for low-amperage precision. Known by its grey tip, this tungsten is a fantastic all-rounder that lets you switch between DC welding on stainless steel and AC welding on aluminum without changing your setup. It is widely considered the best non-radioactive replacement for Thoriated (red) tungsten, giving you similar performance without the safety hazards.

Why choose Ceriated? It lights up easily. If you are doing orbital tube welding, pipe fabrication, or intricate sheet metal work, you know the frustration of a wandering arc or a hard start. This electrode solves that with excellent ignition and re-ignition properties. It holds its point well and doesn't erode quickly, meaning you spend more time welding and less time at the grinder. Because it runs cooler than pure tungsten, it maintains its geometry longer, giving you consistent bead width and penetration.

This 10-pack of 7-inch electrodes is essential for any TIG welder's kit. Whether you are welding titanium for a motorsport application or fixing a stainless steel kitchen unit, the CK T0407GC2 delivers the stability and control you need. It works seamlessly with both inverter and transformer machines, making it a versatile stock item for any shop.
