TIG
Specification :
The doping element cerium oxide makes this TIG welding electrode more resilient than an electrode with pure tungsten – but
less than the E3® and lanthanum electrodes. This type of tungsten electrode is used primarily in the medium and lower current
range for welding unalloyed and high-alloy steels as well as aluminum, copper, nickel, titanium and magnesium
alloys. They can be used for both alternating current welding and direct current welding – however, less well than the E3®
electrode from ABICOR BINZEL.

With its doping element zirconium oxide this tungsten electrode reduces the risk of contaminating the weld pool. This TIG
welding electrode is mainly used for AC welding, because it is not only suitable for DC welding to a limited extent. In AC
welding, this doping element ensures a very stable dome. On the other hand, a tungsten electrode with zirconia does not
ignite as well.
Colour coding with zirconium oxide:
■ White = WZr08–with 0.7 to 0.9% zirconium oxide
