TIG Wolfram electrode - Purple E3

Purple electrodes (AWS classification EWG) contain a specialized blend of rare earth oxide additives. These electrodes were developed as a superior, non-radioactive alternative to Red (Thoriated) tungsten. Identified by their Purple tipped ends, they offer unparalleled arc stability and longevity on both AC and DC currents.

Key Features:

• Universal Application: The perfect choice for both AC and DC welding. Performs excellently on steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and copper alloys.

• Extreme Durability: Lasts significantly longer than traditional electrodes. They run cooler, allowing the tip to maintain its geometry for more arc hours.

• Superior Ignition: Starts the arc faster and more reliably, even at low amperages, providing a highly stable and focused arc.

• Safe Alternative: Contains no radioactive thorium, making them safer for the welder and the environment during the grinding process.
