E3 Tungsten are electrodes with rare earth mixed oxides. Compared to thoriated electrodes, E3 is less harmful to the environment and not radioactive.
The E3 electrodes offer excellent ignition characteristics and consistent welding properties. They are universal and suitable for all applications in the whole range of DC and AC welding for non-alloyed and high alloyed steel, aluminium, titanium, nickel, copper and magnesium alloys. Because og their great ignition properties they are also suitable for automated welding. due to the low electrode temperature, they offer an increased current carrying capacity and longer service life than thoriated electrodes.
For tungsten inert gas welding (TIG), the non-fusing and temperature resistant tungsten electrode, in addition to the torch, the energy source, and the inert gas, are all major factors for obtaining beautiful welds and strong joining results.
