1% Black-Tip Lanthanum Tungsten TIG Electrodes (10-Pack)

These Weld-Star 1% Lanthanated Tungsten TIG Electrodes (Black Tip) offer a precise, stable arc and excellent weld control - making them ideal for TIG welding on mild steel, stainless steel or other compatible alloys. The lanthanum-alloyed (non-radioactive) tungsten provides reliable arc ignition, smooth arc stability, and a low burn-off rate, giving you consistent performance and long electrode life.

Supplied in a convenient 10-electrode pack and available in various sizes, perfect for hobbyists, small-workshop welders, or any TIG user needing quality electrodes for regular use.

Conforms to ANSI/AWS A5 12-92 - BS EN 150 6848:2015

Key Features

1% Lanthanated Tungsten Alloy — Non-radioactive, rare-earth-doped tungsten providing dependable arc start, stable arc and low erosion rate compared with pure tungsten.

Small Diameter & Fine Arc (1.0 mm) — Great for precision TIG welding, thin sheet work, light fabrication, and fine detail welds where control and weld-pool accuracy matter.

Versatile AC / DC TIG Compatible — Works under both AC (with ball-tip) and DC- (with pointed tip), making it suitable for a wide range of TIG setups and materials.

Low Burn-Off & Long Electrode Life — Lanthanated tungsten resists tip erosion, stays sharp longer and needs less frequent re-grinding — reducing downtime and improving weld consistency.

Clean Arc & Reliable Re-Ignition — Produces a stable, focused arc with minimal contamination or spatter risk, ideal for quality welds even on stainless or alloy steels.
