Description
These white-tipped 0.8% zirconiated electrodes are made for AC welding aluminum and magnesium alloys using inverter or transformer-based constant-current power sources. These electrodes ball well and can handle higher amperages than pure tungsten with less pitting and better arc starts and arc stability.
Features
- Non-radioactive—ideal for AC welding of aluminum and magnesium alloys
- Balls well
- Can handle higher amperages
- Pits lees and provides better arc starts and stability than pure tungsten
