2% Lanthanated Tungsten Electrode is a non-radiative material with good welding performance. Its electric conductivity is most closed to that of 2% Thoriated Tungsten. Welders can easily replace Thoriated Tungsten Electrodes with 2% Lanthanated Tungsten without any changes of welding program. This tungsten is used primarily for DC welding but will also show good results for AC welding.                                                       

The 2% Lanthanated Tungsten Electrode became very popular in the circle of welding in the world, soon after it was developed because of its good welding performance. Another advantage of Lanthanum Tungsten is being able to bear high current and have the lowest burn-loss rate.
