WP116X7 - Weldcraft EWP Green Pure Tungsten Electrodes 1/16" 10-Pack

The Classic Green Tungsten for Aluminum TIG

If you are TIG welding aluminum on an older transformer machine, you know that nothing beats the classic Green Pure Tungsten. The Weldcraft WP116X7 pack gives you ten premium 1/16-inch electrodes that are ready to deliver that smooth, buttery arc you expect when working with light alloys. Known in the shop simply as "Green," these EWP electrodes are the traditional go-to for AC welding applications involving Aluminum and Magnesium.

Why choose Pure Tungsten? It's all about the ball. When you light up on AC, this tungsten forms a perfect, shiny half-sphere at the tip. This ball helps spread the arc out, creating a wide, stable cone that provides excellent cleaning action on the surface of the aluminum while maintaining a steady puddle. It doesn't try to hold a sharp point like the newer alloyed tungstens; instead, it works with the heat to create a geometry that handles the alternating current flow efficiently. This makes it incredibly forgiving and stable, especially on sine wave machines.

These 1/16-inch electrodes are perfect for thinner materials where you need finesse rather than brute force. Because pure tungsten has a lower melting point than doped versions, you have to be careful not to overheat them, or they might "spit" tungsten into your weld. But keep them in their amperage lane, and they perform flawlessly. They are strictly for AC use—don't try to run these on DC for steel, or you'll just burn them up.

Safety is another big plus. Since these are 99.5% pure tungsten, they are completely non-radioactive. You don't have to worry about the dust from grinding (though you rarely grind these; you usually just ball them on a piece of copper or let the arc do the work). For welders who learned on a Syncrowave or similar transformer power source, the Green tungsten is a familiar and trusted friend. This 10-pack ensures you have plenty of fresh electrodes on hand for your next aluminum project, whether it's fixing a transmission housing or fabricating custom brackets.

Weldcraft is a name synonymous with TIG quality. When you buy their tungsten, you aren't getting cheap imports with inconsistent grain structures. You are getting electrodes that ball up symmetrically and hold that shape, letting you focus on your bead profile and heat control. If your setup calls for EWP, the WP116X7 is the reliable choice to keep your arc smooth and your welds clean.
