The Taurus thoriated tungsten electrodes provide excellent resistance against weld pool contamination while at the same time offer the welder easier arc starting capabilities and a more stable arc. Thoriated tungsten electrodes are the most commonly used tungsten material.
APPLICATION
Thoriated tungsten electrodes are generally used in DC electrode negative or straight polarity applications such as carbon and stainless steels, nickel alloys and titanium, since
they operate well even under amperage overloaded.
