Thoriated tungsten electrodes are popular in TIG welding for one big reason—arc stability. ⚡ By adding a small amount of thorium oxide, these electrodes offer easier arc starts, smoother welding, higher current capacity, and longer life compared to pure tungsten. That’s why they’re still widely used in aerospace, nuclear, and high-precision welding. ⚠️ But remember: grinding thoriated tungsten creates hazardous dust, so always use proper PPE and ventilation. Knowledge safety = better welds. 🔥 #

WT20 2% Thoriated Tungsten Electrodes (AWS classification EWTh-2) contain a minimum of 97.30 per cent tungsten and 1.70 to 2.20 per cent thorium and are called 2 per cent thoriated. They are the most commonly used electrodes today and are preferred for their longevity and ease of use. Thorium, however, is a low-level radioactive hazard and many users have switched to other alternatives. Regarding the radioactivity, thorium is an alpha emitter but when it is enclosed in a tungsten matrix the risk
