North Purple Rare Earth 1.6mm Tungsten Electrodes are high-quality welding consumables designed for professional welders requiring reliable performance in TIG welding applications. These electrodes feature rare earth mixed oxides, providing excellent ignition characteristics and consistent arc stability for both DC and AC welding.

Compared to traditional thoriated electrodes, these Rare Earth purple electrodes are environmentally safer and non-radioactive, making them a preferred choice for sustainable welding practices. They are versatile and suitable for welding a wide range of metals including non-alloyed and high-alloyed steel, aluminium, titanium, nickel, copper, and magnesium alloys. Their superior ignition properties also make them ideal for automated welding processes.

Due to their low operating temperature, these electrodes offer increased current carrying capacity and longer service life than thoriated alternatives. This enhances productivity and reduces electrode replacement frequency.
