OVERVIEW

Premium Multi-Oxide Tungsten for Versatile Welding

The CK Worldwide LaYZr Tungsten Electrode (1/8" diameter) represents a significant advancement in TIG welding technology. Identified by its distinct Chartreuse color code, this non-radioactive tungsten is engineered to be a universal solution for the modern welder. By combining 1.5% Lanthanum, 0.8% Yttrium, and 0.8% Zirconium, CK Worldwide has created an electrode that excels in both AC and DC processes, effectively replacing the need to stock multiple types of tungsten like Thoriated (Red) or Pure (Green).

For industrial fabrication and MRO applications, the T187GTM offers superior arc stability and tip longevity. The unique oxide blend lowers the work function of the electrode, allowing for easier arc starts and restarts without the risk of radiation associated with Thoriated tungsten. It handles high amperage loads exceptionally well, maintaining its geometry even under thermal stress. This makes it an ideal choice for automated or robotic welding cells where consistency is paramount.

Whether you are welding aluminum alloys using AC or fabricating stainless steel components with DC, the LaYZr tungsten provides a clean, stable arc. Its ability to maintain a balled tip for AC or a sharp point for DC makes it the most versatile consumable in your welding arsenal. Packaged in a durable 10-pack case, these 7-inch ground-finish electrodes ensure you are ready for any substrate that comes through the shop.

FAQ

LaYZr tungsten (Chartreuse) is a universal electrode designed for both AC and DC welding. It works excellently on aluminum, magnesium, steel, stainless steel, and titanium.

No, LaYZr tungsten is non-radioactive. It contains a blend of Lanthanum, Yttrium, and Zirconium oxides, making it a safe alternative to Thoriated (Red) tungsten.

Yes, Chartreuse (LaYZr) tungsten is excellent for AC welding of aluminum. It maintains a stable arc and holds its tip geometry better than Pure (Green) tungsten.

For DC welding, grind the tungsten longitudinally to a sharp point. For AC welding, you can grind it to a point and let it form a small ball, or prepare a truncated cone depending on your inverter settings.

The Chartreuse color code identifies the tungsten as CK Worldwide's proprietary LaYZr blend (1.5% Lanthanum, 0.8% Yttrium, 0.8% Zirconium).

Yes, LaYZr tungsten is optimized for modern inverter power sources but also performs very well on older transformer-based machines.
