TIG Tungsten electrode
Tungsten electrodes are used for TIG welding. The very high melting temperature of Tungsten (approx. 3400°C)
maintains an electric arc between the workpiece and the electrode without wearing out the electrode quickly.
Several types of electrodes exist depending on the processes used. The EN26848 and ISO 6848 standards provide
information on these electrodes.

WL15 Tungsten (Lanthanum)
Steel / Stainless Steel / Aluminium
Lanthanum Tungsten (gold) electrodes are universal TIG electrodes that
can be used for both direct and alternating current. They are particularly
recommended for welding pure materials or Aluminium, Titanium, Nickel,
Copper and Magnesium alloys. The Lanthanum oxide level (1.5%) in their
composition gives them a slower wear and a less current consuming
ignition than WR2 electrodes. They are recommended for low currents.

Steel / Stainless steel / Aluminium
WR2 Tungsten (turquoise) electrodes are versatile TIG electrodes for
welding steels and stainless steels in direct current as well as aluminium
in alternating current.

WC20 Tungsten (Cerium)
Steel / Stainless Steel / Aluminium
WC tungsten electrodes (grey) are suitable for welding both AC and DC.
They are mainly used for welding pure materials or alloys of Aluminium,
Titanium, Nickel, Copper or Magnesium and are recommended for
low currents. The Cerium oxide present in these electrodes gives them
excellent ignition and reignition properties.

WP Tungsten (pure)
Aluminium
Pure Tungsten electrodes (green) are designed without additives for
welding aluminium and its alloys with great arc stability. They make it
possible to obtain a well-formed ball at the end of the electrode, this ball
forms spontaneously from the rst few seconds. As a result, the tungsten
electrode for this type of welding does not sharpen.
