The GTAW process relies on tungsten's hardness and high-temperature resistance to carry the welding current to the arc. Tungsten has the highest melting point of any metal, 3,410 degrees Celsius.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAPPLICATIONS\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003eZirconiated tungsten electrodes (AWS classification EWZr-1) contain a minimum of 99.10 percent tungsten and 0.15 to 0.40 percent zirconium. A zirconiated tungsten electrode produces an extremely stable arc and resists tungsten spitting. It is ideal for AC welding because it retains a balled tip and has a high resistance to contamination. Its current-carrying capability is equal to or greater than that of thoriated tungsten. Under no circumstances is zirconiated recommended for DC welding.\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"XTRweld","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49943811588373,"sku":"XTRWTZIRC3062","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0857\/4897\/3845\/files\/XTRWTZIRC3062-media-01.jpg?v=1780271312","url":"https:\/\/unitedsupplycorp.com\/products\/tungsten-03-zirc-brown-1-16-x-7-10pc-pack-ewzr-1","provider":"United Supply Corp.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
