Thoriated Tungsten Electrode By Zhuzhou Jiabang Refractory Metal Co., Ltd.

We manufacture, export and supply Thoriated Tungsten Electrode to our clients in Zhuzhou, Hunan, China. 2% thoriated tungsten electrode, which is also known as WT electrode, contains a minimum of 97.30% tungsten and 1.70 to 2.20% thorium. Featuring longevity and ease of use, they've become the most commonly used electrodes today.
Thorium plays an important role in increasing the electron emission qualities of thoriated tungsten electrode, which can improve arc starts and allow a higher current carrying capacity.
As thoriated tungsten electrode operates far below its melting temperature, there is considerably lower rate of consumption and less arc wandering for greater stability. It also features making less welding contamination than other electrodes.
To meet different customers' needs, we are able to provide various kinds of thoriated electrodes with different content of thorium.
