W+ LymoxLux® - The premium tungsten electrode in pink-grey for professional TIG welding

What makes the Litty W+ LymoxLux® so special?

The Litty W+ LymoxLux® tungsten electrode is a Multi-mix oxide MMA. It was developed to bridge the gap between pure tungsten electrodes and the now often banned thorium-containing thorium-containing variants. Thanks to a special mixture of rare earths, this MMA offers ignition properties that are unrivalled.

The special feature of the Lymox Lux is its universal applicability. It combines the best properties of different oxide types. Whether you work in the Working in the low current range or welding with high amperages - this tungsten this tungsten MMA remains stable. This gives you a tool, that ensures reproducible results and minimises wear.

Technical data and availability

The W+ Lymox MMA electrodes are available in the standard length of 175 mm, which makes them compatible with the most common Torch systems. To be equipped for to be equipped for any amperage, choosing the right size (diameter) is (diameter) is crucial. In our shop you will find variants from 1.0 mm to thicker diameters such as 2.4 mm or 3.2 mm, depending on what is required for your welding task.

• Length: 175 mm

• Identification colour: Pink-grey

• Material: Tungsten with rare earth mixed oxides

• Type: Radiation-free alternative (thorium-free)

Which tungsten electrode for TIG welding?

The question as to which tungsten electrode is the right one for TIG welding, depends heavily on the requirements for ignitability and arc stability Arc stability. In the past, red (thoriated) electrodes were often used MMA, but this is harmful to health due to radioactive harmful to health.

The W+ Lymox Lux is the modern solution here. It is universally and is ideally suited for direct current (DC) welding as well as for alternating current (AC), provided the power source parameters are are adjusted accordingly. It offers excellent Re-ignition capability, which makes it particularly suitable for automated Welding processes or frequent ignition processes.

Which TIG MMA electrode should I use for which material?

A common challenge for welders is to decide which TIG tungsten electrode to use for which material Tungsten MMA should I use for which material?

The W+ LymoxLux® (pink-grey) is a real all-rounder. Its strengths especially with the following materials:

1. Steel (unalloyed and low-alloyed): Here it ensures a arc and deep penetration.

2. Stainless steel (high-alloy steels): Due to the high purity the weld pool is not contaminated. The seam remains clean and corrosion-resistant.

3. Copper and titanium: Even with these sensitive materials, the tungsten Tungsten mixture shows its strength through its high temperature stability.

4. Aluminium: Although pure or zirconium-plated electrodes are often recommended for aluminium, modern MMAs are often recommended for aluminium, modern inverter machines lymoxLux® often achieve excellent results in the AC range too, as the service life of the tip is longer than with pure tungsten electrodes Tungsten electrodes.

Why is the oxide content of welding electrodes so important?

You may be wondering: Why is the oxide content so important for Welding electrodes so important? Pure tungsten has a very high melting point Melting point, but a high electron work function. This means that it difficult to ignite the arc and keep it stable.

This is where the oxides come into play (such as lanthanum, cerium or the special Mixture in the Lymox series). These oxides drastically reduce the Electron work drastically.

• Better ignition behaviour: The arc starts immediately and without "stuttering".

• Cooler running: The MMA is subjected to less thermal stress, which significantly significantly increases the service life.

• Current carrying capacity: With the right oxides, an MMA of the same thickness (e.g thickness (e.g. 2.4 mm) can withstand more current than a pure tungsten electrode Tungsten electrode.

The W+ LymoxLux® utilises a finely tuned balance of these oxides to maximise these advantages without the tip burning out quickly burn off quickly.
