Welding Electrodes are not radioactive.

Press Release Summary:



Non-Radioactive 2% Lanthanated electrodes offer excellent starting characteristics and longer electrode life. Unlike most modern welding electrodes, they do not use a low-level radioactive material (thorium) as a constituent element. Applications include orbital tube welding, tube mill welding and manual or automatic arc welding. Free samples that are pre-ground to your specifications are available upon request.
