Is 2% ceriated tungsten radioactive?
No. It is a non-radioactive tungsten formula designed for precision TIG welding applications.

What welding applications is it best suited for?
It performs exceptionally well for low-amperage DC TIG welding, orbital tube and pipe welding, thin sheet metal, and small precision parts.

How many electrodes are included?
Each package contains ten 7" (175 mm) tungsten electrodes.

What sizes are available?
Available diameters range from .020" (0.5 mm) through 1/4" (6.4 mm).
