Bossweld ceriated Tungsten Electrodes, 1.6mm

Bossweld Ceriated Tungsten Electrodes are polished, grey-tipped 2% ceriated electrodes for TIG welding on AC or DC, supplied in packs of 10 at 178mm long in 1.6, 2.4 and 3.2mm diameters. They give good arc starts at low amperage, which makes them a popular pick for thin sheet, small delicate parts and orbital tube and pipe work.

They perform best on DC at low current settings, although they also work on AC. They suit carbon and stainless steels, nickel alloys and titanium, and can be used in place of 2% thoriated electrodes on many DC jobs.

Key specifications

Choosing the right option

Pick the diameter from your welding current and joint, and check that your torch collet and collet body match it. Smaller diameters suit lower current on thinner material, and larger diameters carry more current. Grind the tip to a taper with the grinding marks running along the length of the electrode, and use a wheel kept for tungsten only so the tip stays clean.
