Starparts Red 2% Thoriated Tungsten Electrodes

Starparts Red 2% Thoriated Tungsten Electrodes Starparts Red 2% Thoriated Tungsten Electrodes are premium-quality TIG welding electrodes designed to deliver excellent arc starting, superior arc stability, and long service life. Alloyed with 2% thorium oxide (ThO₂), these electrodes are ideal for DC TIG welding applications, offering outstanding performance when welding carbon steel, stainless steel, nickel alloys, titanium, copper, and other ferrous metals. Known for their excellent current-carrying capacity and resistance to contamination, 2% thoriated tungsten electrodes maintain a sharp point for longer, providing precise arc control and consistent weld quality. Their reliable performance makes them a popular choice for professional fabricators, maintenance engineers, pipe welders, and general engineering applications. Available in a range of diameters and supplied in convenient storage packs, Starparts Red 2% Thoriated Tungsten Electrodes are suitable for use with most DC TIG welding machines and are trusted for demanding industrial welding applications. Key Features: Premium 2% thoriated tungsten electrodes Colour coded red for easy identification Excellent arc starting and stability Ideal for DC TIG welding applications High current-carrying capacity Maintains a sharp point for precise arc control Long service life with excellent resistance to contamination Suitable for carbon steel, stainless steel, nickel alloys, titanium and copper Ideal for fabrication, pipe welding, maintenance and general engineering Specifications: Product Type: TIG Tungsten Electrode Brand: Starparts Tungsten Type: 2% Thoriated (ThO₂) Colour Code: Red Welding Current: DC Available Diameters: Various sizes available Applications: Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel, Nickel Alloys, Titanium, Copper and General Fabrication Important Safety Information:These electrodes contain thorium oxide, a naturally radioactive material. When grinding tungsten electrodes, always use suitable extraction or local exhaust ventilation (LEV) and wear appropriate respiratory protection to minimise exposure to grinding dust. Dispose of used electrodes in accordance with local regulations Ideally Suited To DC TIG Welding Applications Pack Of 10
