T187GC2 - CK Worldwide 2% Ceriated Tungsten Electrodes 1/8" x 7" (Grey) - 10 Pack

Reliable & Safe TIG Welding Performance

Upgrade your TIG welding setup with the CK Worldwide 2% Ceriated Tungsten Electrodes (Grey). Identified by the industry-standard grey color code, these electrodes are a top-tier choice for welders seeking a versatile and non-radioactive alternative to Thoriated tungsten. This 10-pack of 1/8" x 7" electrodes is engineered to deliver consistent results across a wide variety of materials, making it an essential addition to any fabrication shop or hobbyist's toolkit.

One of the standout features of 2% Ceriated tungsten is its ability to perform exceptionally well in both AC and DC applications. Whether you are working on delicate mild steel projects, stainless steel fabrication, or welding aluminum and magnesium, these electrodes provide a stable arc and easy starting capabilities. The addition of approximately 2% Cerium Oxide improves ignition and re-ignition properties, which is particularly beneficial for short-cycle welding or tacking where frequent starts are required.

Safety is a priority in modern welding environments, and these electrodes address that need perfectly. Unlike Thoriated tungsten, Ceriated tungsten is non-radioactive, eliminating the health risks associated with grinding radioactive dust. This makes them safer for the welder and the environment. Furthermore, they are designed to last; with a low erosion rate, you spend less time grinding and replacing electrodes and more time welding. Best suited for lower amperage ranges, they hold their point well and resist splitting.

Key Benefits for the Welder:

• Versatility: Works on Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel, Nickel, Titanium, Aluminum, and Magnesium.


• Easy Starts: Superior arc starting at low currents, ideal for precision work.


• Safety: A non-radioactive composition ensures a safer workspace.


• Compatibility: Excellent for use with both inverter and transformer-based power sources.
