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\u003eLanthanated tungsten electrodes have excellent arc starting, a low burnoff rate, good arc stability, and excellent reignition characteristics, they also share the conductivity characteristics of 2% thoriated. In some cases, 1.5 \u0026amp; 2% lanthanated can replace thoriated without having to make significant welding program changes. Working well on AC or DC electrode negative with a pointed end, they can also be balled for use with AC sine wave machines. Maintaining a sharpened point is an advantage, useful for welding steel and stainless on DC or AC from square wave power sources.\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"XTRweld","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49943813030165,"sku":"XTRWTLAN15156","price":228.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0857\/4897\/3845\/files\/XTRWTLAN15156-media-01.jpg?v=1780271437","url":"https:\/\/unitedsupplycorp.com\/products\/tungsten-15-lanth-gold-5-32-x-7-10pc-pack-ewla-15","provider":"United Supply Corp.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
