Pro-source 116-7GL2 Tig Tungsten Electrode 1/16 in 2% Lanthanated

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE 116-7GL2 is a 2% lanthanated tungsten electrode designed for TIG welding applications. Lanthanated tungsten offers stable arc starts, low burnoff rate, and consistent arc performance across a wide range of materials and current types. At 1/16 inch (0.0625 inch) diameter and 7 inches overall length, this electrode fits standard TIG torch collet bodies sized for 1/16 inch tungsten. The blue color code identifies the 2% lanthanum oxide content per industry convention. Sold in a pack of 10, this electrode is handled by licensed welding professionals and skilled fabricators working on precision TIG welds.

This electrode is suited for AC and DC TIG welding on mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and other metals where arc stability and electrode longevity are priorities. The 2% lanthanated formulation performs well in both low-amperage and higher-amperage regimes, making it a versatile choice for fabrication shops, maintenance and repair operations, and field welding. The 7 inch length is the standard TIG electrode size compatible with most common TIG torch configurations.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/16 inch diameter, 7 inch TIG tungsten electrode for use with TIG torches that accept this collet size. No specific torch model compatibility data was provided in the product input.

Installation Notes

TIG tungsten electrodes are installed and replaced by qualified welders or welding technicians. Before replacing an electrode, shut down the welding machine and allow the torch to cool completely. Grind or prepare the electrode tip to the appropriate geometry for the welding process and material per standard welding procedure. Follow applicable AWS and shop safety guidelines when handling and disposing of tungsten electrodes.
