2% Thoriated
(red)
eWTh-2/WT20
Principal Oxide:
1.7– 2.2% Thorium Oxide
Radioactive.
Best for use in direct current (d/c) applications using transformer based constant current
power sources. Best for use on non corroding steels, titanium alloys, nickel alloys, copper alloys. Good d/c
arc starts and stability, medium erosion rate, medium amperage range, medium tendency to spit.
 
1.5% Lanthanated
(GoLd)
eWLa-1.5/WL15
Principal Oxide:
1.3 –1.7% Lanthanum Oxide
NoN-Radioactive.
Best for use in direct current (d/c) as an alternative to 2%
thoriated using inverter or
transformer based constant current power sources. Best for non corroding steels, titanium alloys, nickel
alloys, copper alloys. Best d/c arc starts and stability, low erosion rate, wide amperage range, no spitting.
 
2% Ceriated
(Grey)
(Formerly orange)
eWce-2/Wc20
Principal Oxide:
1.8 – 2.2% Cerium Oxide
No
N-Radioactive.
Best for use in
alternating current (a/c) or direct current (d/c) applications using
inverter or transformer based constant current power sources. Good for low-alloyed steels, non corroding
steels, aluminum alloys, magnesium alloys, titanium alloys, nickel alloys, copper alloys. Good ignition and
re-ignition properties, long service life, excellent arc stability. Low erosion rate, best at low amperage
range, no spitting, good d/c arc starts and stability.
 
Pure
(Green)
eWP/WP
Principal Oxide:
None
NoN-Radioactive.
Good for use in
alternating current (a/c) for aluminum alloys and magnesium alloys
in low to medium amperage applications using transformer based constant current power sources only.
Balls easy, tends to spit at higher amperages. Used for non-critical welds only.
 
2% Lanthanated
(Bue)
eWLa-2/WL20
Principal Oxide:
1.8 – 2.2% Lanthanum Oxide
NoN-Radioactive.
Best general purpose electrode for both
alternating current (a/c) or direct current
(d/c) using inverter or transformer based constant current power sources. Good for low-alloyed steels,
non corroding steels, aluminum alloys, magnesium alloys, titanium alloys, nickel alloys, copper alloys.
Good arc starts and stability, medium to high amperage range, low erosion rate.
