ESAB tungsten pure (green) electrodes (AWS classification EWP) contain 99.50 percent tungsten. They have the highest consumption rate of all electrodes, and typically are less expensive than their alloyed counterparts.
These electrodes form a clean, balled tip when heated and provide great arc stability for AC welding with a balanced wave. Pure tungsten also provides good arc stability for AC sine wave welding, especially on aluminum and magnesium. It is not typically used for DC welding, as it does not provide the strong arc starts required. These are characteristics of thoriated (red) or ceriated (grey) electrodes.
The ESAB Tungsten Pure – Green electrode has the product code 0151574011, and is 3.2mm in diameter, and 175mm in length.
