OVERVIEW

Versatile Grey Ceriated Tungsten for TIG Welding

Upgrade your TIG welding setup with our 10-pack of 2% Ceriated Tungsten Electrodes. These 1/16" x 7" grey-tipped electrodes are the go-to solution for welders looking for a safe, non-radioactive replacement for red thoriated tungsten. Whether you are working in your garage or on a job site, ceriated tungsten offers a fantastic balance of ease of use and durability, helping you lay down better beads with less hassle.

One of the standout features of these electrodes is their ability to start an arc easily at low amperages. This makes them perfect for welding thin materials where heat control is essential to prevent burn-through. They perform exceptionally well in DC electrode negative (DCEN) polarity for welding carbon and stainless steels, nickel alloys, and titanium. Additionally, they are capable of handling AC welding for aluminum, especially when using square-wave power sources that allow for adjustable cleaning and penetration.

The 2% cerium content helps the electrode hold its shape longer than pure tungsten, meaning you spend less time at the grinder and more time under the hood. This 10-pack ensures you have a reliable supply of consumables on hand for your next project. Experience stable arcs, clean welds, and long-lasting performance with these premium ceriated tungsten electrodes. They are compatible with all standard TIG torches and collet bodies.

FAQ

Ceriated tungsten (Grey) contains cerium oxide and is non-radioactive, whereas Thoriated tungsten (Red) contains radioactive thorium. Ceriated offers similar performance with easier arc starts at low amperages.

Yes, 2% Ceriated tungsten works well for AC welding of aluminum, especially with modern inverter power sources, though it is primarily known for DC performance.

Yes, for DC welding, you should grind the tungsten to a sharp point parallel to the length of the rod. For AC, a slight flat or small ball may be used depending on the machine.

No, 2% Ceriated tungsten is a non-radioactive alternative to Thoriated tungsten, making it safer to grind and use.

A 1/16" Ceriated electrode typically operates best between 50 and 120 amps, depending on the polarity and gas cup size.

You can weld carbon steel, stainless steel, nickel alloys, and titanium on DC, and aluminum or magnesium on AC.

This package contains 10 individual tungsten electrodes.
