Fields of application: TIG, plasma applications, resistance welding
Next to the WTh alloy, the WLa alloy is the most versatile. With a lanthanum (III) oxide content of up to 2 percent by weight, this mixture can be used for a very broad range of applications: electrodes for TIG, orbital, plasma and resistance welding, and many more. Once again: the higher the oxide content, the better the ignition of the electrode. Thanks to its low alloy content, the WLa10 electrode is also suitable for AC welding of aluminium and magnesium. This alloy type is therefore the favourite WTh20 replacement in Europe.
