A 2.4mm Zirconiated Tungsten Electrode (colour-coded White) is a premium, non-consumable TIG welding electrode engineered primarily for high-performance AC TIG welding on materials like aluminium and magnesium alloys. It contains a minimum of 99.10% tungsten and 0.15% to 0.40% zirconium (commonly designated as WZ8 or AWS classification EWZr-1).
Key Performance Benefits
- Balled Tip Retention: It naturally forms and retains a clean, balled end under AC heat, which is essential for uniform arc tracking.
- High Contamination Resistance: Highly resistant to "tungsten spitting" or fracturing, ensuring your weld puddle stays free of foreign materials.
- Excellent Arc Stability: Delivers reliable arc starts, easy re-ignition, and an extremely stable arc stream compared to pure tungsten.
- High Amperage Capacity: Carries a current load equal to or greater than thoriated tungsten without splitting.
