OVERVIEW

High-Purity Tungsten for Industrial AC Welding

The CK Worldwide T5327G Pure Tungsten Electrode is a premium consumable designed for specific industrial TIG welding applications. Identified by its industry-standard green color code, this electrode is classified as EWP under AWS standards. It is composed of 99.5% pure tungsten with less than 0.5% trace elements, making it a non-radioactive option for welders concerned with safety during grinding and handling. This specific composition allows the electrode to form a clean, balled end when heated, which is essential for maintaining arc stability during Alternating Current (AC) welding processes.

These 5/32-inch diameter electrodes are engineered primarily for welding aluminum and magnesium alloys. They perform exceptionally well when paired with transformer-based constant current power sources that utilize a balanced wave or sine wave output. The inherent physical properties of pure tungsten provide good arc stability in these specific setups, ensuring consistent weld quality in non-critical applications. However, operators should note that pure tungsten is not recommended for DC welding or for use with modern inverter-based machines that require sharper electrode geometries.

Josef Gas supplies the T5327G in convenient packs of 10, ensuring your shop is stocked for production runs or repair work. With a standard length of 7 inches, these electrodes fit most standard TIG torches and collet bodies. While pure tungsten tends to spit at higher amperages, it remains the go-to choice for low to medium amperage work on aluminum where a balled tip is desired. Trust CK Worldwide's manufacturing quality to deliver consistent diameter control and purity, reducing contamination risks in your weld pool.

Key Industrial Benefits:

  • Material Compatibility: Specifically formulated for Aluminum and Magnesium alloys.
  • Arc Stability: Provides a stable arc on AC sine wave power sources.
  • Safety: Non-radioactive composition eliminates radiation hazards associated with thoriated tungsten.
  • Tip Formation: Naturally balls up to create the ideal geometry for traditional AC welding.

FAQ

Green (Pure) tungsten is primarily used for AC welding of aluminum and magnesium alloys.

No, pure tungsten is not recommended for DC welding as it does not hold a sharp point and degrades quickly.

No, the T5327G is 99.5% pure tungsten and contains no radioactive oxides like thoria.

It is best suited for transformer-based constant current power sources with sine wave or balanced squarewave output.

Pure tungsten has a lower current carrying capacity and melting point than alloyed tungsten, causing it to form a ball when heated by AC, which aids in arc stability.

The diameter is 5/32 inches (approximately 4.0mm).

While it can work, it is generally not recommended for modern inverters which typically perform better with rare-earth tungsten like Lanthanated or Ceriated.

At excessive amperages, pure tungsten tends to spit or deposit tungsten inclusions into the weld puddle.
