Green-Tip Tungsten Electrode 1.6mm x 175mm – AC TIG Welding
Brief Overview
This AC TIG tungsten electrode is engineered specifically for aluminum and magnesium alloy welding applications. The 1.6mm diameter and 175mm working length make it ideal for precision TIG work on thin to medium-section aluminum components. For heavier aluminum applications, consider the larger 2.4mm tungsten electrode for AC welding, or explore red-coded DC electrodes for steel and stainless steel work.
Key Features
- Pure tungsten (100% W) composition – Standard AC TIG performer for non-ferrous metals
- Green-coded AC designation – Immediate visual identification for welders and shop organization
- 1.6mm diameter – Ideal for precision work on aluminum sheet and thin-wall components
- 175mm working length – Standard electrode length balances usability and material efficiency
- Retail pack of 10 – Convenient consumable quantity for shop stocking and resale
Business Advantages for Resellers
- Consumable revenue stream – Welders deplete electrodes predictably; strong repeat-order potential
- Focused niche – AC TIG aluminum welding remains essential across automotive, HVAC, and light fabrication sectors
- Low inventory footprint – Compact, stackable retail packs fit shelf space efficiently
- High margin opportunity – Tungsten electrodes carry healthy wholesale-to-retail markups
- Paired selling potential – Stock alongside larger aluminum electrodes to serve varied job requirements
