CK Worldwide T3327GL2 2% Lanthanated Tungsten Electrode 3/32\" x 7\" | 10 Pack

Overview

CK Worldwide T3327GL2 2% Lanthanated Tungsten Electrodes offer dependable arc starts and stable performance for both AC and DC welding. Crafted with a balanced composition of 97.3% tungsten, 1.8–2.2% lanthanum oxide, and a small mix of other elements, these blue-coded electrodes are designed for general purpose use across a variety of metals. The formulation supports reliable behavior with non-radioactive attributes, making them compatible with modern inverter or transformer-based constant-current power sources.

Why this electrode stands out

• 2% Lanthanated (Blue) EWLa-2/WL20 for consistent arc starts
• Principal oxide: 1.8–2.2% Lanthanum Oxide for arc reliability
• Non-Radioactive and suitable for AC or DC power sources via inverter or transformer CC systems
• Broad compatibility with metals including carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, magnesium, titanium, nickel, and copper alloys
• Strong arc starts with stability across a medium to high amperage range and lower erosion rate

Material compatibility and real-world use

This electrode is a practical choice for everyday shop tasks, from carbon steel frame assemblies to stainless hardware and aluminum components. When paired with the right power source, you can expect consistent heat input and smooth, controlled welds across a range of metals commonly encountered in fabrication and repair work.

Practical benefits in practice

• Fast, reliable starts reduce pre-weld prep and rework
• Stable arcs help maintain heat efficiency and weld quality across passes
• Lower tip erosion supports longer electrode life in demanding conditions
• Pack of 10 provides convenient supply for frequent welding projects

Performance by metal

• Carbon steel and stainless steel: smooth starts and predictable penetration
• Aluminum and magnesium alloys: good arc conduction with reduced erosion
• Titanium and nickel alloys: steady heat input for challenging joints
• Copper alloys: reliable arc starting across varied positions

Note: 2% Lanthanated is a non-radioactive alternative with similar arc behavior to traditional grades, offering versatile, general purpose performance across common welding tasks without thorium-related considerations.
