Characteristics
Green
Provides good arc stability for AC welding. Reasonably good resistance to contamination. Lowest
current carrying capacity. Least expensive. Maintains a balled end. Used on transformer based
machines only.
Gray
2% Thoriated
Red
1.5% Lanthanated
Gold
2% Lanthanated
Similar performance to thoriated tungsten. Easy arc starting, good arc stability, long life.
Possible replacement for thoriated.
Easier arc starting. Higher current capacity. Greater arc stability. High resistance to weld pool
contamination. Difficult to maintain balled end on AC.
Similar performance to thoriated tungsten. Easy arc starting, good arc stability, long life, high
current capacity. 1.5% possible replacement for thoriated. 2% possible replacement for Pure.
Blue
.8% Zirconiated
White
LaYZr
Chartreuse*
Excellent for AC welding due to favorable retention of balled end, high resistance to
contamination, and good arc starting. Preferred when tungsten contamination of weld is
intolerable. Possible replacement for Pure.
Best for use on automated or robotic applications. Runs cooler than 2% Thoriated with longer life.
Low to medium amperage range.
