CK Worldwide T1167GT2 1/16" 2% Thoriated Tungsten Electrode

Professional-grade 1/16" 2% thoriated tungsten electrodes engineered for consistent arc initiation and superior performance in DC welding applications. These red-tipped electrodes deliver exceptional arc stability and extended electrode life for demanding steel and stainless steel fabrication work.

The 2% thorium oxide content provides excellent electron emission characteristics, enabling reliable arc starts at lower amperage settings while maintaining consistent arc characteristics throughout extended welding sessions. Ideal for precision TIG welding applications where consistent penetration and bead quality are critical.

• Diameter: 1/16" (1.6mm)
• Composition: 2% Thoriated tungsten (red tip)
• Manufacturer SKU: T1167GT2
• Application: DC welding applications
• Materials: Carbon steel, stainless steel, and steel alloys
• Process: GTAW/TIG welding
• Arc Characteristics: Superior stability and longevity

These electrodes are particularly well-suited for industrial and professional welding environments where consistent results and minimal electrode replacement downtime are essential. The 1/16" diameter makes them ideal for precision work and applications requiring controlled heat input on thinner materials.

Compatible with all standard TIG torches and suitable for both manual and automated welding systems. Thoriated tungsten electrodes are the preferred choice for DC applications due to their excellent current-carrying capacity and resistance to tip erosion.
