One can only guess what they’re welding up there!
\n\"Tungsten
\nI’m pretty sure they contacted us because Arc-Zone.com offers the widest variety of tungsten electrodes for TIG and Plasma Arc Welding applications. We offer quality brand names like ArcTime\u2122 , Amplify\u2122 MultiStrike\u2122, SYLVANIA and Weldcraft\u00ae <\/a>and all the popular blends like 2% Ceriated, 1.5% Lanthanated, 2% Thoriated, Pure Tungsten, Zirconiated Tungsten, Rare Earth blends and the new ArcTime Hybrid\u2122 Electrodes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We also stock (ready for immediate delivery) the most common diameters for welding from .040″ to 1\/8″ Other diameters up to 1\/4″ are usually available to ship in a couple of days. <\/p>\n

But 1\/2″ diameter tungsten electrodes– that’s a different story. For a request like that, we would need to quote a special run of 1\/2″ diameter…. <\/p>\n
