OVERVIEW

Universal TIG Welding Performance with CK LaYZr

The CK Worldwide LaYZr Tungsten Electrode (3/32" diameter) represents a significant advancement in TIG welding consumables. Identified by its distinctive Chartreuse color code, this electrode is engineered with a proprietary blend of rare earth oxides—1.5% Lanthanum, 0.8% Yttrium, and 0.8% Zirconium. This unique tri-mix formulation allows the LaYZr tungsten to perform exceptionally well across both Alternating Current (AC) and Direct Current (DC) processes, making it a true "universal" electrode for the modern fabrication shop.

For job shops that handle a diverse range of materials, the LaYZr electrode is a game-changer. It eliminates the need to stock multiple types of tungsten, such as Pure (Green) for aluminum and Thoriated (Red) for steel. Instead, welders can rely on this single electrode to weld mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum, titanium, and other non-ferrous metals with equal proficiency. The electrode is non-radioactive, addressing safety concerns associated with Thoriated tungsten while matching or exceeding its arc stability and starting characteristics.

One of the standout features of the LaYZr blend is its ability to maintain tip geometry. Unlike Pure tungsten, which tends to ball up excessively, or Ceriated tungsten, which can degrade under high amperage, LaYZr holds a sharp point for DC welding and forms a stable, small ball for AC welding. This retention of geometry translates to better arc control, reduced wandering, and longer intervals between regrinding. It is particularly effective when paired with advanced square-wave inverter power sources, allowing for precise control over the weld puddle.

This pack contains ten 7-inch ground-finish electrodes, ensuring you have a reliable supply for high-production environments. Whether you are welding critical aerospace components or general structural repairs, the CK Worldwide LaYZr tungsten delivers consistent, high-quality results.

FAQ

LaYZr tungsten is a universal electrode used for both AC and DC TIG welding. It is suitable for welding aluminum, mild steel, stainless steel, titanium, and other non-ferrous metals.

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.

The tip of CK Worldwide LaYZr tungsten is color-coded Chartreuse (a yellow-green color) for easy identification.

Yes, LaYZr tungsten is optimized for modern inverter power sources but also works well with traditional transformer machines.

For most applications, including AC welding on inverters, you can grind the tip to a point with a small flat land. It holds its shape well and does not require balling like Pure tungsten.

LaYZr offers similar arc stability and starting characteristics to Thoriated tungsten but without the radiation hazards. It also performs better in AC applications where Thoriated is typically not recommended.

Yes, this SKU (T3327GTM) typically refers to a standard pack of 10 electrodes.

It consists of approximately 96.9% Tungsten, 1.5% Lanthanum Oxide, 0.8% Yttrium Oxide, and 0.8% Zirconium Oxide.
