Description
Blue Demon EWLa-1 is a top - notch tungsten electrode. It has 1.3 - 1.5% dispersed lanthanum oxide, which means better arc starting, great arc stability, less tip erosion, and a wider operating current range.
- It can replace 2% thoriated tungsten as a non - radioactive option with similar operating features.
- Works well for both DC and AC applications.
- It belongs to AWS Class EWLa - 1.5 and has a gold color.
- Comes in a size of .040 inches.
Using these Blue Demon lanthanated tungsten electrodes is quite easy. First, make sure your welding equipment is properly set up for the right current type (either DC or AC as this electrode works for both). Insert the electrode into the torch, being careful not to damage the tip. When starting the arc, you'll notice it's quicker and more stable compared to some other electrodes. During welding, keep an eye on the tip. If you notice excessive erosion, it might be time to replace the electrode. To maintain these electrodes, store them in a dry place away from moisture and contaminants. And always follow the safety guidelines of your welding equipment. That way, you can get the most out of your 3 - pack of electrodes.
