T3327GC2 - CK Worldwide 2% Ceriated Tungsten Electrodes 3/32" (Grey) - 10 Pack

Premium 2% Ceriated Tungsten for Precision TIG Welding

The CK Worldwide 2% Ceriated Tungsten Electrodes (SKU: T3327GC2) represent a versatile and safe solution for modern TIG welding applications. Identified by their grey color code (formerly orange in some contexts, but standardized as grey for EWCe-2), these electrodes are composed of 97.3% tungsten and approximately 2% cerium oxide. This specific formulation makes them a premier choice for welders seeking a non-radioactive alternative to the traditional 2% Thoriated tungsten, without sacrificing performance.

Optimized for Low Amperage

One of the standout characteristics of ceriated tungsten is its ability to perform exceptionally well at low amperage settings. The addition of cerium oxide facilitates easier arc starting and maintains a stable arc even at lower currents. This makes the 3/32" diameter electrode particularly useful for orbital tube welding, pipe manufacturing, and thin sheet metal work where precision heat control is paramount. Unlike pure tungsten, ceriated electrodes hold their shape well and resist erosion, ensuring a longer service life and fewer interruptions for regrinding.

AC and DC Versatility

These electrodes are true all-rounders in the welding shop. They are compatible with both Alternating Current (AC) and Direct Current (DC) power sources, including modern inverter-based machines and older transformer units. Whether you are welding carbon steel, stainless steel, nickel alloys, or titanium in DC mode, or switching to aluminum and magnesium alloys in AC mode, the CK 2% Ceriated tungsten delivers consistent results. At Josef Gas, we recommend these for fabricators who need a single tungsten type to handle a wide variety of materials efficiently.

Safety and Compliance

As safety regulations become stricter regarding radioactive materials, 2% Ceriated tungsten offers peace of mind. It contains no thorium, eliminating the small radiation risk associated with grinding thoriated electrodes. This makes it an excellent standard option for educational institutions, general fabrication shops, and environments where health and safety compliance is a top priority. Each pack contains 10 ground-finish electrodes, ready to be prepped for your specific torch setup.
