CK Worldwide T3327GT2 2% Thoriated Tungsten Electrode 3/32 in x 7 in – 10 Pack

Overview

The CK Worldwide T3327GT2 2% Thoriated Tungsten electrode is built for reliability in welding tasks that demand a strong, responsive arc. Its 2% thorium oxide composition supports crisp arc ignition and stable performance at higher currents, while also offering practical use for certain low-amperage AC applications when a modified point is used. The alloy’s balance of tungsten with thorium and trace elements provides predictable behavior across a range of metals, making it a versatile choice for fabricators and hobbyists alike. The package includes ten electrodes, ensuring you have ready supply for ongoing projects.

Key benefits at a glance

• 2% Thoriated tungsten (EWTh-2/WT20) for reliable arc starts
• Thorium oxide content around 1.7–2.2% supports stable performance
• Optimized for direct current (DC) welding with transformer-based constant current power sources
• Suitable for non-corroding steels, titanium alloys, nickel alloys, and copper alloys
• Balanced erosion rate and amperage range with controlled tendency to spatter

Real-world applications

Ideal for high-current welding where a stable arc is valued, such as in structural fabrication, metal fabrication, and automotive components. When working with non-corroding steels or titanium alloys, the electrode delivers dependable starts and steady arc behavior. For certain low-amperage AC tasks, a modified point can help maintain arc control without sacrificing performance.

Materials and packaging

• Weldable materials include carbon steel, stainless steel, nickel alloys, titanium, and copper alloys
• Package contents: 10 tungsten electrodes

Tips for best results

• Use with transformer-based CC power sources to maximize DC arc stability
• For AC work, consider a modified point to improve control at lower amperages
• Inspect the tip before welding and replace as needed to maintain consistent arc starts
