Description
Blue Demon EWLa-1 is an outstanding tungsten electrode with 1.3 - 1.5% dispersed lanthanum oxide. It offers enhanced arc starting and stability, slower tip erosion, and a wider operating current range. It can replace 2% thoriated tungsten without radioactivity as their operating features are alike. Suitable for both DC and AC applications. It's AWS Class EWLa-1.5 with a gold color and comes in a size of .40'-5/32'.
To use this Blue Demon lanthanated tungsten electrode, first, make sure your welding equipment is set up properly for either DC or AC applications. Insert the electrode into the torch, following the equipment's instructions. When starting the arc, you'll notice it's easier compared to some other electrodes, and it stays stable during welding. As it has a reduced tip erosion rate, you don't have to replace it as often. However, always wear proper safety gear like welding gloves and goggles. After use, store the electrode in a dry place to prevent corrosion. This electrode offers a wide operating current range, so you can adjust it according to your specific welding needs. And remember, it's a non - radioactive alternative to 2% thoriated tungsten, which is great for your safety and the environment.
