The CK Worldwide T1167G Pure Tungsten Electrode (Green) is a staple in the welding industry, particularly for operators utilizing traditional transformer-based power sources. Identified by its distinctive green color code, this electrode is composed of at least 99.5% pure tungsten with no added oxides. This high purity level makes it the original standard for TIG welding, offering specific characteristics that are highly desirable for certain non-ferrous metals.<\/p>\n
Designed primarily for Alternating Current (AC) welding, the Pure Tungsten electrode is renowned for its ability to form a clean, balled end when heated. This balling effect provides excellent arc stability on AC sine wave and conventional square wave power sources, creating a smooth and consistent arc profile necessary for high-quality aluminum and magnesium welds. Unlike rare-earth doped tungstens that maintain a sharp point, the balled tip of the pure tungsten spreads the arc heat over a wider area, providing the cleaning action required to break through oxide layers on aluminum surfaces.<\/p>\n
It is important to note that while Pure Tungsten excels in AC applications with transformer machines, it is not recommended for DC welding or for use with modern inverter-based machines that rely on pointed electrodes. In those scenarios, the electrode may not hold its geometry. However, for legacy equipment and specific AC applications requiring a stable, balled arc, the T1167G remains the superior choice. Additionally, as a non-radioactive consumable, it eliminates the safety concerns associated with thoriated tungsten, making it a safer option for the welder and the environment.<\/p>\n
