Blue Demon Tungsten Electrodes & Gouging CarbonsBlue Demon 2% Thoriated TIG Welding Tungsten Electrodes (Red / EWTh-2)

Blue Demon 2% Thoriated Tunsten Welding Electrodes (TE2T) have a higher thoria content in the EWTh-2 electrode for improved operating characteristic compared to the lower thoria content in EWTh-1. The additional thoria also provides about 20 percent higher current-carrying capacity, longer life and resistance to contamination of the weld. Should it be desired to use these electrodes for AC welding then balling can be accomplished by briefly, and carefully welding with DC electrode positive prior to welding with AC. During AC welding, the balled end does not melt and so emission is not as good as from a liquid ball on an EWP electrode. Note: if electrode grinding is used, special precautions relative to ventilation should always be considered to avoid ingestion of dust.
