DGP 4% Thoriated (Orange) Tungsten

 

4% Thoriated tungsten is one of the most popular tungsten electrodes in the United States for DC TIG welding. The addition of thorium oxide lowers the tungsten’s work function, resulting in easier arc starts, superior arc stability, and higher current-carrying capacity. Known for its durability, it holds a sharp point longer than pure tungsten or other blends, making it ideal for demanding, high-precision work.

Features

  • Composition: 4% thorium oxide with high-purity tungsten.
  • Type: DC TIG welding electrode.
  • Current Capacity: Handles high amperage without overheating.
  • Arc Characteristics: Low work function for easy starting and stable arcs.
  • Durability: Maintains tip geometry longer than most tungsten types.
  • Identification: Orange color code for quick recognition.

Benefits

  • Smooth, Stable Arc – Ensures precision welds with minimal arc wander.
  • Higher Productivity – Supports higher travel speeds and deeper penetration.
  • Longer Electrode Life – Less frequent grinding and replacement.
  • Reliable Arc Starts – Reduces time spent striking and restriking the arc.
  • Consistent Performance – Ideal for repetitive, production-style welding.

Available diameters:

  • 3/32" (2.4 mm)
