FAQ
Q: What is WL20 tungsten?
A: WL20 (EWLa-2) is a 2% lanthanated tungsten electrode identified by its blue color. It offers excellent arc starting, stable performance, and long service life for both AC and DC TIG welding.
Q: Can these electrodes be used for AC and DC welding?
A: Yes. WL20 electrodes are designed to perform exceptionally well in both AC and DC TIG welding applications.
Q: What materials can I weld with WL20 electrodes?
A: They are suitable for carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, titanium, nickel alloys, copper alloys, and many other common welding materials when proper welding procedures are followed.
Q: Why are the electrodes vacuum sealed?
A: Vacuum packaging helps prevent oxidation and contamination during storage, keeping the electrodes in optimal condition until they are ready for use.
Q: Which diameter should I choose?
A: Smaller diameters are recommended for thinner materials and lower welding currents, while larger diameters are better suited for thicker materials and higher current applications.
