FAQ WC20 tungsten electrode 1.0 mm BIN700.0180

What is the unique characteristic of the WC20 alloy compared to pure tungsten?
The WC20 electrode is doped with 2% cerium oxide. This addition significantly improves arc ignition, increases the electrode service life, and provides better fusion resistance compared to pure tungsten electrodes.
Is this model suitable for direct current (DC) welding?
Yes, WC20 electrodes are versatile and perfectly suited for TIG welding with both direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC). They are particularly recommended for automated welding and low currents due to their excellent arc stability.
What is the recommended method for sharpening this 1.0 mm electrode?
To ensure arc stability, grinding must be performed longitudinally in the direction of the metal grain. It is advisable to use a dedicated diamond grinding wheel to avoid any electrode contamination by foreign metallic particles.
