1.5% Lanthanated Tungsten Electrode (Gold) — AWS A5.12 — Overview
1.5% Lanthanated tungsten electrodes (comprising 1.3–1.7% lanthanum oxide) are designed for both AC and DC TIG (GTAW) welding of non-corroding steels, titanium, nickel, and copper alloys. A non-radioactive, high-performance replacement for 2% thoriated tungsten, these electrodes deliver superior arc initiation, a wide amperage range, and a stable no-spit welding process while maintaining their sharpened point for extended periods. Colour-coded gold per AWS A5.12. Pack of 10 × 7-inch electrodes. Ships across Canada from North York, Ontario.
