0.8% Zirconiated White Tungsten Electrodes

Ideal for high precision, exceptional quality AC welding on aluminium alloys as it retains a balled tip and has a high resistance to contamination. The current carrying capability is equal or greater than that of thoriated tungsten. Non-radioactive. Not suitable for DC welding.

Kennedy 4.0mm 0.8% Zirconiated White Tungsten Electrodes

Zirconiated tungsten electrodes (AWS classification EWZr-1) contain a minimum of 99.10% tungsten and .15 to .40% zirconium. A zirconium oxide (zirconia) alloyed tungsten electrode is
preferred for AC welding when the highest quality work is necessary and where even the smallest amounts of weld pool contamination cannot be tolerated. This is accomplished because the zirconium alloyed tungsten produces an extremely stable arc which resists tungsten spitting in the arc. The current carrying capability is equal to or slightly greater than an equal sized cerium, lanthana or thorium alloyed
electrode. Zirconium electrodes are typically used only for
AC welding with a balled end. Not to be used for DC welding.

SWP Drying Ovens

SWP drying ovens - the efficiency of welding electrodes can be seriously impaired if the electrode coating is exposed to a damp environment. Dampness can cause water to be generated in the arc shield, which could adversely effect the running quality of the electrode by promoting excessive spatter and ultimately the quality of the weld by creating porosity and piping. SWP offer you a range of drying ovens to suit many locations and needs.
