OVERVIEW

CK Worldwide T3327GC2 Grey Tungsten Electrodes

Upgrade your TIG welding arsenal with the CK Worldwide 2% Ceriated Tungsten Electrodes, 3/32" diameter. Known in the industry for their reliability and high-quality manufacturing, CK Worldwide produces tungsten that meets stringent AWS EWCe-2 (WC20) standards. These grey-tipped electrodes are designed to be the workhorse of the welding industry, providing a superior alternative to thoriated tungsten for welders who demand high performance without the radioactive concerns.

Superior Arc Stability and Starting

The 2% Ceriated formula is engineered to reduce the work function of the tungsten, which translates to effortless arc ignition and re-ignition. This is a critical feature for applications involving frequent tacking or short welds. The 3/32" size is robust enough for general fabrication but sensitive enough for delicate work. Welders will appreciate the stable arc that does not wander, allowing for precise bead placement on complex joints. The low erosion rate means the tip geometry stays consistent longer, reducing the frequency of grinding and extending the life of each 7-inch electrode.

Multi-Material Compatibility

Versatility is key in a busy welding shop. These electrodes excel in welding a vast array of metals. They are highly recommended for low-alloyed steels, non-corroding steels, titanium alloys, nickel alloys, and copper alloys. Furthermore, they are increasingly popular for welding aluminum and magnesium alloys using inverter power sources. While pure tungsten was once the standard for AC aluminum welding, 2% Ceriated has proven to handle AC welding with excellent arc control, often permitting a sharper point than pure tungsten for deeper penetration.

Reliable Consumables for Professionals

Sold in a convenient 10-pack, the T3327GC2 ensures you have ample supply for your projects. The consistent grain structure of CK tungsten prevents splitting and spitting, common issues with lower-quality consumables. Whether you are running a high-tech inverter machine or a classic transformer, these electrodes adapt to your equipment to deliver professional-grade welds. Shop Welders Supply for your TIG consumables and experience the difference quality tungsten makes in your weld puddle control and final bead appearance.

FAQ

Ceriated tungsten (Grey) contains about 2% cerium oxide and is non-radioactive, whereas Thoriated (Red) contains radioactive thorium. Ceriated offers similar or better arc starting at low amperages and is safer to grind.

Yes, 2% Ceriated tungsten works very well for aluminum welding, especially when using modern inverter-based AC power sources. It holds a point better than pure tungsten.

The color code for 2% Ceriated tungsten is Grey. Note that in the past, some standards used Orange, but Grey is the current standard for EWCe-2/WC20.

A 3/32" (2.4mm) Ceriated tungsten typically operates best between 70 and 160 amps for DCEN, though it can handle up to 200+ amps depending on the gas cup and cooling.

Not necessarily. With inverter machines, you can often maintain a sharpened or truncated point. For older transformer machines, a slight ball may form, but Ceriated is designed to hold its shape better than Pure tungsten.

Yes, one of the main advantages of 2% Ceriated tungsten is its versatility to perform excellently in both AC and DC welding applications.

You should grind the tungsten longitudinally (lengthwise) to the axis of the electrode. For DC, grind to a point; for AC, you may leave a small flat land on the tip.
