Electrode WT10 Tungsten Thorium Electrode Length 175mm, Diameter 2.4mm

1. WT10 Electrode Thorium Tungsten Electrode Diameter 2.4mm Description:

An electrode product called a thorium-tungsten electrode contains thorium oxide. Low electron work function, high crystallization temperature, superior electrical conductivity, mechanical cutability, etc. are some of its properties. It is widely used in the field of DC welding. Depending on the amount of dopant doping, the color-coded head of the electrode is also different, including yellow, red, purple and orange.

Thorium tungsten electrode is a commonly used tungsten electrode material. Since it performs welding more effectively than pure tungsten, it is frequently employed in the DC welding industry.

Thorium-tungsten electrodes are easy to handle and work well even under overloaded currents.

Nevertheless, people are gradually turning their attention to other types of tungsten electrodes, such as tungsten cerium and tungsten lanthanum, not only because they show excellent performance in most applications, but also, importantly, they do not emit radiation harm. Because the thorium oxide in thorium tungsten electrodes produces a small amount of radiation, some welders are reluctant to approach them.

4. Application of WT10 Electrode Thorium Tungsten Electrode Diameter 2.4mm:

Thoriated tungsten electrodes are commonly used for DC negative electrodes or positive electrodes such as carbon, stainless steel, nickel alloys, and titanium alloys. They operate well, even at overloaded currents.

Thoriated tungsten electrodes are usually . Thoriated-tungsten electrodes with 2% thorium oxide typically provide better performance than 1% thoriated-tungsten electrodes. When using thoriated tungsten electrodes for AC welding, be fast and use caution so that the DC welding will react before the AC welding. The balls that are kneaded do not melt during AC welding, so the effect is not as good as the liquid balls.

Thoriated tungsten electrodes are usually used in the field of direct current welding, while pure tungsten electrodes are used in alternating current welding. During the welding process, workers should carefully read the instructions for use of thoriated tungsten electrodes

When welding with thorium tungsten electrodes, it is necessary to maintain a good ventilation environment, and the discarded welding joints should be properly disposed of.
