TUNGSTEN ELECTRODES
TUNGSTEN
E3® Tungsten electrodes (Binzel) (lilac end) offer great flexibility of use. They are 
particularly recommended for welding steel, stainless steel, copper and brass in low 
or medium intensities. They also allow welding of aluminum in alternating current. 
Non-radioactive,  they  have  characteristics  close  to  the  thoriated  electrode.  They 
are distinguished by a high quality of starting and ensure a good regularity in the 
realization of the bead. They are suitable for automatic welding.
Application
• Particularly recommended for welding steel, stainless steel, copper and brass in low or 
medium intensities, 
• Versatile, it can be used in direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC).
Products
• Composed of Lanthanum Oxide.
• Features close to the thoriated electrode.
• Excellent priming quality.
• Great arc stability.
• Reduced wear rate.
• Suitable for automatic welding.
