Hi Folks,
something for the Tungsten Nerds here.
What do you think about the E3 (Purple up to 3% Oxides, should be the same as CK LayZr) and Multimix (Grey-pink up to 4% oxides)?
On DC i never did notice much, the E3 and Multimix seem to start a little bit crisper and last a little longer.
But as we all know, AC shows the tungsten properties.
I like to run 2.4mm to 190 Amps, at 100Hz and 32% EP Balance. Sharp ground with a little blunt and with a very small Ball which can Build itself while Welding.
I tried the E3 in AC and it works good, the Multimix even better without getting cooked.
Before that i allways used the blue, 2% Lathanoxide. The work really Good up to 190 Amps, can hold their shape Good.
The Gold 1.5% Lathanoxide i allways hate on AC because the tend to form to a tip that looks like cauliflower.. But i don’t even like these on DC, they did Not last Long.
How are your experiences with tungsten on AC and DC, especially these new Multimix and E3 Stuff?
greetings,
Chris
