CK Worldwide T0407GL 1.5% Lanthanated Tungsten Electrode .040

Professional-grade 1.5% lanthanated tungsten electrode in 0.040" diameter delivers consistent arc starts and stable performance for precision TIG welding applications. Lanthanated tungsten provides excellent arc initiation characteristics and maintains a sharp point longer than thoriated alternatives. This electrode offers superior performance across both AC and DC welding operations, making it ideal for aluminum, stainless steel, and carbon steel applications. The 1.5% lanthanated composition provides optimal conductivity while reducing tungsten consumption compared to pure tungsten electrodes. Diameter: 0.040" (1.0mm) Composition: 1.5% Lanthanated Tungsten Manufacturer SKU: T0407GL Application: AC/DC TIG welding Point retention: Superior to thoriated tungsten Arc characteristics: Excellent initiation and stability The 0.040" diameter makes this tungsten electrode particularly well-suited for precision work on thin materials and detailed fabrication where control and accuracy are critical. Compatible with standard TIG torch collet systems designed for this diameter range. Lanthanated tungsten electrodes are the preferred choice for shops transitioning away from thoriated tungsten while maintaining consistent welding performance across multiple base materials and welding processes.
