Why is WY20 made to order while others are stock?

Demand is specialised and batch-specific; producing to confirmed orders keeps markings, diameters and dates exact for procedure-controlled buyers.

What tip colour will my WY20 have?

We confirm the batch marking with the quotation in writing, together with the text designation on each box label.

Is yttriated radioactive?

No. Yttrium oxide is not a radioactive additive; WY20 carries no thorium-related handling considerations.

WY20 · batch-marked tip

WY20 Yttriated Tungsten Electrode (approx. 2% Y2O3)

Yttria-doped electrodes hold a tight, concentrated arc at high DC current with low tip erosion — the choice for precision and critical-joint work where arc wander is not acceptable.

WY20 is a made-to-order line for us: we confirm diameter, length, tip marking and date before you commit, so your procedure documentation matches what arrives.

Where WY20 earns its place

Critical DC joints

Thin-wall tube, aerospace-adjacent assemblies, automated heads with tight arc-length windows: yttria’s stable emission keeps the arc where the program puts it.

High-current endurance

Where WL20 tips would need frequent re-dressing, WY20 holds geometry longer at equal amperage.

Ordering honestly

Because it is made to order, we quote WY20 with an explicit production date and marking scheme. No phantom stock, no substitution surprises.

Alternatives to compare

If your current range is medium rather than extreme, WL20 often covers the job from stock — ask and we will say so plainly.

Real stock, photographed as shipped

No studio renders. These are the tube boxes, labels and cartons that leave our Baoji packing room — the same ones your incoming inspection will open.

Stacks of plastic tube boxes with 10 tungsten electrodes each in the packing room — Ground-finish electrodes packed 10 pcs per tube box, stacked for order picking.

Two tube boxes labelled 1.6 mm WL20 lanthanated and 3.2 mm WZ8 zirconiated, 10 pieces ground finish, ANSI AWS A5.12M-98 and ISO 6848 — Export labels state size, type, piece count and the standards: ANSI/AWS A5.12M, ISO 6848.

Row of labelled tungsten electrode tube boxes lined up for pre-shipment counting — Pre-shipment check row: every box counted and matched to the packing list before cartoning.

Neutral white inner boxes hand-marked WL20 1.6 and WZ8 3.2 — Neutral white inner boxes, hand-marked by type and diameter for mixed orders.
