Thorium products
Why thorium
How the properties of the material become advantages in the finished part.
Arc stability
Added to a tungsten electrode the arc strikes easily and holds steady.
High refractoriness
Thorium oxide has a high melting point, which makes it a high-temperature crucible material.
Electron emission
It emits electrons readily, extending welding electrode life.
Handled under regulation
As a radioactive material it is supplied only within the scope of the license.
Product Shapes
Thoriated tungsten electrodes
Electrodes containing 2–3% ThO₂, used in arc welding.
