Ceriated tungsten (EWCe-2, grey tip) offers excellent, stable arc starts, especially at low amperages for DC welding, making it great for thin metals and delicate parts, while also working well for AC, replacing radioactive thoriated tungsten; key features include easy arc initiation, stability, low erosion, and versatility for various metals like steel, aluminum, and titanium.
Key Features & Benefits:
Easy Arc Starts: Provides excellent arc initiation and stability, particularly at low currents, reducing spatter (spitting).
Versatile Application: Works well for both AC and DC welding, suitable for aluminum, stainless steel, copper, nickel, and titanium.
Low Erosion: Resists oxide creation on the tip, leading to longer life and less frequent grinding.
Non-Radioactive: A safer, non-radioactive alternative to thoriated tungsten, offering similar performance in many applications.
Ideal for Low Amperage: Best suited for low to medium amperage jobs, such as orbital pipe welding, thin sheet metal, and small parts.
Color Code: Identified by a grey tip (EWCe-2).
Best Uses:
DC welding on steel, stainless steel, titanium, copper, and nickel alloys.
Low-current applications and delicate work.
A good all-purpose choice, especially when replacing thoriated tungsten.
