What is the difference between tungsten electrode wc and wt?

I believe that there are many people do not understand what is the difference between tungsten electrode wc and wt? It is precisely because people do not know these two electrodes very well, so when using or when applying them, they are not clear about the difference. If you do not understand the difference, it is likely to lead to some use of the problem, if you can correctly use these two different electrodes, you can solve a lot of problems, such as radiation problems. So what is the difference between tungsten electrode wc and wt? Is there a difference in application? The next step will be a simple answer for you.

Tungsten electrode wc and wt difference

The difference between tungsten electrode wc and wt is that the material added to the tungsten is different, WC is put in the tungsten cerium oxide, the production is cerium tungsten electrode. While WT is put thorium oxide in tungsten, the material produced becomes thoriated tungsten electrode. Compared to thoriated tungsten electrode, cerium tungsten electrode has more advantages, at least there is no radiation, which is the most popular and the biggest advantage of cerium tungsten electrode. Of course, the advantages of cerium tungsten electrode are not only this point, there is also a good arc, has a long welding life, at the same time, low melting rate is also the most obvious advantages of cerium tungsten electrode.

Tungsten electrode wc and wt application difference

Tungsten electrode wc and wt difference in addition to the advantages of the difference in the past, in the application of a big difference, WC electrode is suitable for low-current DC welding, while the WT electrode is suitable for high-current DC welding, which is the biggest difference between the two in the application. And another difference is that WC electrode will not have radiation damage, which is the main reason why people nowadays are willing to use WC electrode to replace WT electrode.
