Cerium Tungsten Electrodes Cerium Tungsten Electrode has good starting arc performance under the condition of low current. The arc current is low, therefore the electrodes can be used for welding of pipe, stainless and fine parts. Cerium Tungsten Electrodeis the first choice for replacing Thoriated Tungsten Electrode under the condition of low DC. Trade mark | Added impurity | Impurity quantity | Other impurities | Tungsten | Electric discharged power | Color sign | WC20 | CeO2 | 1.80 - 2.20% | <0.20% | The rest | 2.7 - 2.8 | Grey | Lanthanated Tungsten Electrodes The lanthanated tungsten electrode became very popular in the circle of welding in the world soon after it was developed because of its good welding performance. The electric conductivity of lanthanated tungsten is most closed to that of 2% thoriated Tungsten. Welders can easily replace thoriated tungsten Electrode with lanthanated tungsten electrode at either AC or DC and not have to make any welding program changes. The radioactivity from thoriated tungsten can thus be avoided. Another advantage of lanthanated tungsten electrode is being able to bear high current and having the lowest burn-loss rate.

Any other electrodes in terms of its excellent performance can not replace Zirconiated tungsten electrodes. The electrode retains a balled end when welding, which results in less tungsten permeation and good corrosion resistance. Our technical staffs have been engaged in research and testing work and succeeded in solving the conflicts between zirconium content and processing properties.

Thoriated tungsten is a good general use tungsten for DC applications, because it operates well even when overload with extra amperage, thus improves the performance of welding.

The Composite tungsten electrodes have thus become out of the ordinary in the electrode family. The new type Composite Tungsten Electrode developed by us has been listed in Stade Developing Plan for new products.
