E3® Tungsten electrodes (lilac) provide great exibility of use. They
are particularly recommended for welding steel, stainless steel, copper
and brass at low to medium intensities. They can also be used to weld
aluminium using alternating current.
Non-radioactive, they have characteristics close to the thoriated Tungsten
electrode. They are easy to ignite and offers an excellent weldbead
aesthetics. They are suitable for automatic welding.

AC DC
Lanthanum Tungsten electrodes (violet tip) are universal TIG electrodes
that can be used for both direct and alternating current and are
particularly recommended for welding pure materials or alloys such as
Aluminium, Titanium, Nickel, Copper and Magnesium.
The higher level of Lanthanum oxide (2%) in their composition optimizes
their resistance and priming qualities for an ever more professional look.
They are recommended for low currents.

Sharpening the electrode: The sharpening angle has a very
large impact on the characteristics of a weldbead. A large angle
results in a narrow weld with high penetration while a small angle
results in a wide weld with less penetration.
