CK Worldwide Tungsten Electrodes
At CK Worldwide, we know that choosing the right tungsten electrode is critical to achieving precision, consistency, and longevity in your TIG welding applications. That’s why we offer a complete range of high-quality tungsten electrodes engineered for superior performance.
Layzr™ Tungsten – The Ultimate Choice for TIG Welding
Our most advanced and popular electrode, Layzr™ tungsten, is engineered to outperform traditional options. Designed with a proprietary rare earth blend, Layzr™ electrodes deliver:
✅ Longer Electrode Life – Extends service time, reducing electrode changes.
✅ Lower Operating Temperature – Minimizes heat-related wear for improved durability.
✅ Excellent Arc Stability – Provides a smooth, controlled arc for precision welding.
✅ Non-Radioactive – A safer alternative to thoriated tungsten.
Layzr™ tungsten electrodes excel in both AC and DC welding applications, making them an ideal all-purpose choice for professionals seeking efficiency and reliability.
Choosing the Right Tungsten Electrode for Your Application
While Layzr™ tungsten is the most versatile option, different applications may require specific tungsten electrodes. Here’s a breakdown of other tungsten types and when you should use them:
- 2% Thoriated (Red) – DC Welding Powerhouse
- Best for carbon steel, stainless steel, nickel alloys, and titanium.
- Offers excellent arc starting and stability in DC applications.
- Contains radioactive thorium – handle with care.
- 2% Lanthanated (Blue) – Versatile for AC & DC
- Similar performance to thoriated but non-radioactive.
- Ideal for steel, stainless steel, and aluminum welding.
- Holds up well at lower amperages.
- 1.5% Lanthanated (Gold) – Balanced Performance
- Great for AC and DC welding with smooth starts and long life.
- Works well on aluminum, mild steel, and stainless steel.
- Pure Tungsten (Green) – Best for AC Aluminum
- Used in traditional AC welding applications.
- Forms a clean, balled tip for aluminum welding.
- Less durable than modern alternatives.
- Zirconiated (White) – High-Performance Aluminum Welding
- Preferred for AC welding on aluminum.
- Resists contamination better than pure tungsten.
- Maintains a balled tip while handling higher amperage.
