Sold in a 3-piece pack, these 3\/32-inch gold-band electrodes are built for demanding weld environments where arc stability and consistent performance are critical. Lanthanated tungsten offers excellent arc starting, low burnoff rate, and reliable reignition characteristics. The 1.5% lanthanum oxide content gives these electrodes conductivity characteristics comparable to 2% thoriated tungsten, making them a practical non-radioactive alternative. Licensed welding professionals and skilled fabricators working with GTAW equipment are the primary users.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese electrodes are suited for both AC and DC electrode negative (DCEN) applications. On DC, they hold a sharpened point well, making them effective for welding mild steel and stainless steel. On AC sine wave machines, the tip can be balled for conventional AC welding. Square wave AC power sources also work with a pointed tip configuration. The versatility across polarity types and base metals makes these electrodes a flexible choice for professional welding shops and field fabricators handling a range of material types.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.5% lanthanated formulation provides excellent arc starting and low burnoff rate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with both AC and DC electrode negative polarity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHolds a sharpened point on DC for precision welding of steel and stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan be balled for use with AC sine wave power sources\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNon-radioactive alternative with conductivity comparable to 2% thoriated tungsten\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGold color band for quick identification in the shop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in GTAW torches accepting 3\/32-inch diameter tungsten electrodes. Compatible with AC sine wave, AC square wave, and DC electrode negative power sources. In many cases, 1.5% lanthanated tungsten can replace 2% thoriated electrodes without significant changes to existing welding programs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation and electrode preparation should be performed by a qualified welder or welding professional familiar with GTAW processes. Always ensure the power source is off and the torch is cool before changing electrodes. Grind or sharpen the electrode longitudinally on a dedicated grinding wheel to avoid contamination. Follow applicable AWS and shop safety standards when handling and storing tungsten electrodes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eElectrode Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5% Lanthanated Tungsten\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/32 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor Band\u003c\/strong\u003e: Gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePack Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWelding Process\u003c\/strong\u003e: GTAW (TIG)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePolarity\u003c\/strong\u003e: AC or DC Electrode Negative\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 840349202150\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: XTRWELD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: WTLAN15093-3DP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"XTRWELD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51347444597042,"sku":"WTLAN15093-3DP","price":38.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310547026.jpg?v=1782105188","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/xtrweld-wtlan15093-3dp-lanthanated-tungsten-electrode","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
