3/32" Ceriated Tungsten Electrode

The Westward 31GH70 is a 2% ceriated tungsten electrode built for TIG welding on aluminum, carbon steel, copper, low-alloy steel, magnesium, nickel, stainless steel and titanium. It carries AWS A5.12 classification EWCe-2 and comes in a three-pack of seven-inch rods with a 0.09375 in diameter. The gray tip colour identifies the ceriated composition at a glance.

Replacing pure or thoriated tungsten

Switch to ceriated when you need easier arc starts and better stability on both AC and DC current without the radioactivity concerns of thoriated types. The lower burn-off rate extends electrode life, making the change worthwhile for shops that run mixed-material jobs and want a single electrode chemistry across the bench.

Simple rod prep and fit

Sharpen the tip to a taper for DC work or ball it for AC; the 7 in length fits standard TIG torch collets and gives enough grip for repeated regrinds. The main issue is cross-contamination — keep a dedicated grinder wheel for tungsten and store rods in a sealed container so the cerium oxide does not pick up moisture or shop dust.

Questions about this item

What diameter collet body fits the 0.09375 in electrode?

Use a 3/32 inch collet body and matching collet for the 0.09375 in diameter tungsten.

How do I prepare the tip before starting the arc?

Grind the gray 2% ceriated tip to a taper on a dedicated tungsten grinder for AC/DC TIG welding.

When should I replace an electrode from this PK3 pack?

Replace it when the tip wears down, contaminates, or the reduced vaporization benefit is lost after repeated arc starts.
