Ceriated tungsten electrode for TIG, 1.6 mm Easy arc starting and a stable arc even at low current. Cerium-alloyed tungsten electrodes for TIG welding of steel and stainless steel: the ideal option for thin sheet and for jobs where you need a precise arc from the very start.
Unlike thoriated tungsten, ceriated tungsten is not radioactive , so you can grind it on your bench grinder with peace of mind. Pack of 2 units, 1.6 mm, the most widely used diameter for thin and medium thicknesses.
✅ Key benefits
Easy starting: the arc strikes easily and without jumping.
Stable at low current: ideal for thin sheet and delicate tack welds.
Non-radioactive: a safe alternative to thoriated tungsten.
Steel and stainless steel: suitable for the most common TIG jobs.
🏗️ What it's for
TIG welding of thin steel and stainless steel sheet.
Light fabrication, railings and metal furniture.
Precision repairs in the workshop.
Spare for TIG torches with a 1.6 mm collet.
📋 Technical features
Type: ceriated tungsten
Diameter: 1.6 mm
Contents: 2 electrodes
Process: TIG
Materials: steel and stainless steel
Matching collet, diffuser and cup
To use the 1.6 mm electrode, your torch must have a 1.6 mm collet and diffuser. For ST17/ST26 torches you will find both spare parts in our catalogue, as well as ceramic cups in several sizes.
💡 Vetonek tip: grind the tip lengthways (the grinding marks should run towards the point) and leave a ground length of about 2-3 times the diameter: the arc will be more focused and stable. If you dip the tungsten into the weld pool, regrind it.
