$22.2 $60 In stock

Category: TL2-7040

The most commonly used, non-radioactive tungsten. Also a great substitute for 2% Thoriated tungsten, as 2% Lanthanated tungsten offers some of the best arc starting characteristics and a longer life than 2% Thoriated tungsten. A good tungsten for pulsing or welding that requires frequent re-ignitions with a short weld cycle. Can be used for both inverter and transformer power sources.

Ellie V. ★★★★★

Switched from thoriated to these blue-tipped electrodes and the arc starts much more reliably, even on my old welder. The longer lifespan is a nice bonus too.

Emma ★★★★★

Switched from thoriated to this lanthanated tungsten and the arc starts noticeably quicker on my inverter welder. The blue tip color coding is a helpful visual cue when I'm grabbing rods from the drawer.

James N. ★★★★★

The blue tip makes it super easy to tell apart from my other rods in the drawer, and arc starting is just as effortless as the thoriated stuff I used before. So far, it's holding up great through a long day of welding without breaking down.
