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\u003e2% lanthanated tungsten has excellent arc starting, low burnoff, 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 (-) with a pointed end, they can also be balled for use with AC sine wave machines. Maintaining a sharp point is an advantage, useful for welding steel and stainless on DC or AC from square wave power sources. 2% Lanthanated has superior ARC start and AC performance over 1.5%.\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"XTRweld","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49943812866325,"sku":"XTRWTLAN20062","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0857\/4897\/3845\/files\/XTRWTLAN20062-media-01.jpg?v=1780271425","url":"https:\/\/unitedsupplycorp.com\/products\/tungsten-2-0-lanth-blue-1-16-x-7-10pc-pack-ewla-20","provider":"United Supply Corp.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
