Frequently asked questions

What are SuperStrike tungstens and how do they differ from thoriated?

SuperStrike is a special-formula, blue-tip hybrid tungsten designed to give improved performance and safety over thoriated types in DC, plus better arc stability in AC. They're a good option if you want an alternative to thoriated electrodes.

What current range do they cover?

They're formulated to give better AC arc stability across a 0–300 Amp current range, making them versatile for a wide spread of TIG work.

What sizes are available?

SuperStrike tungstens are offered in three diameters: 1.6mm, 2.4mm and 3.2mm. Choose the diameter to match your amperage and material thickness.

Can I use these on both AC and DC?

Yes. They're designed to improve on thoriated performance in DC and to give better arc stability in AC, so they suit both current types across the stated 0–300 Amp range.

How do I buy these on a trade account?
