OVERVIEW

The Ultimate All-Purpose TIG Electrode

Upgrade your TIG welding setup with CK Worldwide's LaYZr Tungsten (Chartreuse), the go-to choice for welders who demand performance and versatility. The T187GTM 1/8" electrode is designed to handle it all—from delicate aluminum work to heavy-duty steel fabrication. Gone are the days of switching between Green tungsten for aluminum and Red tungsten for steel; LaYZr bridges the gap, offering a single, high-performance solution for every metal type.

What sets LaYZr apart is its proprietary tri-mix composition. It features a blend of Lanthanum, Yttrium, and Zirconium oxides that work together to provide excellent ignition characteristics and arc stability. You will notice immediate improvements in arc starting, especially at low amperages, and a significant reduction in tip erosion during long weld runs. This means less time spent grinding tungsten and more time laying beads.

Safety is also a key benefit. As a non-radioactive alternative, LaYZr eliminates the health risks associated with grinding radioactive Thoriated tungsten dust. It is safe for you and your shop environment while delivering performance that often exceeds traditional radioactive options. Perfect for the professional welder or the serious hobbyist, this 10-pack of 1/8" electrodes ensures you have the best technology at the tip of your torch.

FAQ

LaYZr tungsten (Chartreuse) is a universal electrode designed for both AC and DC welding. It works excellently on aluminum, magnesium, steel, stainless steel, and titanium.

No, LaYZr tungsten is non-radioactive. It contains a blend of Lanthanum, Yttrium, and Zirconium oxides, making it a safe alternative to Thoriated (Red) tungsten.

Yes, Chartreuse (LaYZr) tungsten is excellent for AC welding of aluminum. It maintains a stable arc and holds its tip geometry better than Pure (Green) tungsten.

For DC welding, grind the tungsten longitudinally to a sharp point. For AC welding, you can grind it to a point and let it form a small ball, or prepare a truncated cone depending on your inverter settings.

The Chartreuse color code identifies the tungsten as CK Worldwide's proprietary LaYZr blend (1.5% Lanthanum, 0.8% Yttrium, 0.8% Zirconium).

Yes, LaYZr tungsten is optimized for modern inverter power sources but also performs very well on older transformer-based machines.
